Tim, I assign the Karmic task to you, so you can close it when the update comes in via upstream.
** Description changed: SRU justification: - Hanksville NIC (82577/82588) is a Single-Port GbE ASIC supporting Intel 09' platforms (Piketon/Calpella) which time to market is ahead of Karmic released. The e1000e driver supporting Hanksville has been accepted by upstream which will show up in .31 kernel. + + Impact: Hanksville NIC (82577/82588) is a Single-Port GbE ASIC supporting Intel 09' platforms (Piketon/Calpella) which time to market is ahead of Karmic released. The e1000e driver supporting Hanksville has been accepted by upstream which will show up in .31 kernel. We're requesting a driver update for Jaunty, for Karmic it should be supported by nature. - The stand-alone e1000e driver which is compatible with .28 kernel is now - available on "http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/";. + Fix: The stand-alone e1000e driver which is compatible with .28 kernel + is now available on "http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/";. To add + support in Jaunty, we will take the stand-alone driver and remove all + pci id's already covered by the in-kernel driver and also rename the + module. + + Testcase: Install the resulting kernel package on older and newer + hardware. Currently supported ethernet models would run with the current + driver and newer models with the modified one. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stefan Bader (stefan-bader-canonical) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Triaged ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: Stefan Bader (stefan-bader-canonical) => Tim Gardner (timg-tpi) -- [Jaunty SRU Request] e1000e driver update for Hanksville NIC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
