You can still include the standard one if you want to be able to swap between them.
But you have to make sure that it's built as a module, not compiled in. (kernel config set =M, not =Y.) The service start script will automatically unload the standard module and replace it with the Etherlab module, and vice versa on stop. > -----Original Message----- > From: etherlab-users-boun...@etherlab.org [mailto:etherlab-users- > boun...@etherlab.org] On Behalf Of LYNCH, Damien > Sent: Friday, 29 November 2013 17:20 > To: etherlab-users@etherlab.org > Subject: Re: [etherlab-users] ec_e1000e driver not finding NIC? > [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] > > I still had the normal e1000e driver included in the kernel > configuration.
