Hi,

My PCI-E Network Card isnt working. May someone suggest me a working PCI-E Card?
Or can someone tell me how to check if a particular card is working with endian ?

Greetings

I can vouch for Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
These work brilliantly so far

Dear All,

I'm looking for a such information about a PCI-Express NIC supported under Endian
Do you know if there is a HCL list?

After some research on the INTEL NIC 82540EM, it seem the the PCI-x or PCI is supported (using E1000 driver, already compiled, but the PCI-E version use the E1000e driver (and of course, not present )

So, in my conclusion, the only thing i can do, is to "make" my own driver

Is someone have a information regarding PCI-E NIC?

Endian is a derivative of IPCop, I guess the HCL is the same?

Just Google IPCopHCLv01

Sorry, can't post clickable links.

I would like to know a PCI-E NIC that compatible with Endian as well.  I have the one PCI port on my motherboard full with a NIC for the WAN but I want to add a third NIC for a blue interface.  I tried an Intel EXPI9301CTBLK but Endian doesn't see it.

I've even attempted to make my own drivers but I keep getting this:

Code:

Makefile:71: *** Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations.
Makefile:72: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
Makefile:73: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again.  Stop.

If I try to install the kernel-devel it tells me it's already installed:

Code:

smart install kernel-devel
Loading cache...
Updating cache...               ######################################## [100%]

warning: kernel-devel-1:2.6.22.19-72.endian15@i586 is already installed
Computing transaction...

Make file was searching the header on some directory that doesn't exist.
The usual way to fix that is to create a symbolic link between the header sources and the dir where your makefile is looking for the sources.

Can you please clarify?  I don't know where makefile is looking now where it's supposed to look for the headers.  I know how to make a symbolic link but between where and where is what I'm not sure on.

Hi,

I've made my own research regarding a PCI-Express card suitable for Endian 2.3

And the winner is : HP NC110T Pci express Gigabit Server Adapter

Working just fine !

I can't, you must view your makefile and guess where is looking for the sources, then make the correct links to fix the problem...

I would much prefer to just have a card that worked rather then compile my own drivers anyway.  I hate messing with the core OS, especially when it's my firewall.   

lribeyre,  you are using this card now and it is working?
