I've been trying to get an Intel Pro/1000 VT quad port card working in my dev Openfiler system, a Dell 2950. The only hints I have as to why the card isn't working is a dmesg line 'intel_rng: FWH not detected' and some forum posts about Intel quad port cards.
The forum posts suggest that I just upgrade to the RC of 2.3, but there are some issues with that. Firstly the system mostly works and I don't want to have to do a clean install of 2.3 RC and there doesn't seem to be an upgrade path from 2.2 to 2.3 RC. There is also a lot of vagueness from the Openfiler developers as to whether or not we'll be able to upgrade from RC 2.3 to 2.3 final (as per forum topic https://forums.openfiler.com/viewtopic.php?id=1547). Combined with the 2.3 final release date vagueness (it's been vague for at least 3 months since the push back of the 2.3 release last year) it's making it very hard to decide what action to take. I tried adding kernel:build-tree and development tools via conary and then install the Intel reference driver, but I kept getting build errors. You can read my forum posts about these attempts here: https://forums.openfiler.com/viewtopic.php?pid=7693#p7693 Anyone have any suggestions? I haven't deleted any rollback data from conary, so I should be able to undo any damage done by me rummaging around for my own solution. I'm by no means an rPath/conary/Openfiler expert, so I am hoping I am just missing something simple.
