Public bug reported: == Quantal SRU Justification == i218 is the next-generation LOM that will be available on systems with the Lynx Point LP Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chipset from Intel. The following upstream patch provides the initial support of those devices. It will allow LAN connections but will be missing the enablement for actual low power savings. This will however at least allow testing on early platforms.
== Impact == Should be a very low risk of regression as this is just adding new pci id's. == Test Case == Without this patch, these LOM's are unsupported. All you need to test is to boot a kernel without this patch applied on a system with this HW and confirm networking is unsupported. With this patch LAN connections are at least possible. == Fix == This patch has been applied upstream as of v3.7-rc1 and is already in our Raring kernel: commit 16e310ae6ed352c4963b1f2413fcd88fa693eeda Author: Bruce Allan <[email protected]> Date: Tue Oct 9 01:11:26 2012 +0000 e1000e: add device IDs for i218 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara) Status: Fix Released ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Medium Assignee: Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara) Status: In Progress ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: == Quantal SRU Justification == i218 is the next-generation LOM that will be available on systems with the Lynx Point LP Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chipset from Intel.
