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:

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.

Thanks,

Chris M
