Can not install driver for intel netword adaptor 82562v-2 10/100

[zhangsan]

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu Desktop 7.04 on a dell computer (inspiron 530), but system could not find my network adaptor, it is intel 82562v-2 10/100 and the main board is intel g33.

I downloaded the driver(e100-3.5.17.tar.gz) for linux from intel.com, but it could not be compiled:
e100.c:2676:49: error: macro "INIT_WORK" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2

Could anybody help? Thanks very very much!!

I also bought a desktop Dell Inspiron 530 from Dell Japan, and the live CD of 7.04 does not detect the onboard ethernet card. Please let me know if you find a solution for this.

Hi there,

Easy. All you have to do is download the right driver.It's 825xx based network adapter, you should go to
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...=9180&lang=eng and download the e1000-7.6.5.tar.gz driver.

Here is the step-by-step instruction:
1. On an other computer, download the driver e1000-7.6.5.tar.gz by clicking http://downloadcenter.intel.com/T8Cl...Name=&lang=eng
2. Copy the e1000-7.6.5.tar.gz file to the Dell Inspiron 530 computer.
3. On the Dell, run:

tar xfvz e1000-7.6.5.tar.gz
cd e1000-7.6.5/src
sudo make install
sudo modprobe e1000

4. OK, your Ubuntu will try to obtain an IP address automatically now. If not, you might want to edit /etc/network/interfaces to configure it manually, then run this command:

sudo /etc/init.d/network restart

5. If it still not work, reboot your Ubuntu.

I have a similar problem - looks like the same hardware. My native Ubuntu install works fine, howver I'm trying to run Vista in a VM.

I've tried both VMware and VirtualBox, but neither of them recognise the network card in the virtual vista installation - I've browsed for the correct driver, and tried to install it but I get the following error:

This device cannot start. (code 10)

I've attached two screenshots showing Ubuntu recognising the network card, and Vista failing to install the driver.

any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Seamus,

You ar running a Vista guest inside VMware/Virtualbox on an Ubuntu host?

When you run a guest operating system in most virtual machine software, it does not acess the actual hardware on the host system. Instead, it accesses virtualized hardware presented by the vm software. You should find what hardware your vm software emulates, then try to install the driver for that in Vista.

Thanks for this - any suggestions on how to find out what hardware NIC VMware or Virtualbox emulates?
