I had some issues with some of the latest Intel NIC cards on Debian lenny revision 3 (2.6.26 kernel). Particularly if they require newer versions of the igb driver to operate. Debian seems to be a bit dated for drivers in their stock kernels.

If you have this issue you can use DKMS to auto recompile the igb driver source code at boot time after a kernel updates. Works like a charm.

I suspect that 2.6.31 kernel should have support tho.

Hi,

I am using Vyatta VC6.0 (community edition) as firewall for one of my project. It is based on Debian 5.0.1 (kernel 2.6.31). The hardware I am planning to buy comes with Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter. Does any one know whether Debian 5 support this NIC?

with regards,
mks
