Hi Jeff
What does it mean that there is no correlation between out of the tree driver
versions and up stream kernel versions?
I guess that out of the tree driver versions won't compile against any kernel
header. Am I wrong?
If I take the latest igb version, will it compile against relatively old
kernels?
Thanks again for your help,
Tal

There is no correlation between out-of-tree driver versions and upstream
kernel versions. You need to you the latest igb driver
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb%20stable/5.2.17/) .
I hope this helps,
Jeff

Hi Allan
Thanks a lot for your help.The driver for i210 hardware I have
(E1000_DEV_ID_I210_SERDES_FLASHLESS) exits in relatively new kernels. I've been
working with with kernel 3.14.3 and it works fine.
What I'm looking for is a version of i210 that would compile against kernel
version 3.2.34.I've checked the link you send
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb%20stable/3.2.10/ and the latest
3.2.x version that I've found there doesn't support i210 at all.
Is there another place to look?If not, is backporting possible?
Thanks,Tal

Just use the out-of-tree igb driver (found at http://e1000.sourceforge.net).
It will have support for the version of I210 you have and should compile and
run on that kernel without any modification of the driver source.
