Install an Intel Gigabit CT desktop adapter NIC Driver for Ubuntu Dell poweredge 990

Ubuntu is hard to handle without a network, and it is a headache for Ubuntu 10.04 to have a nic driver without a Dell poweredge 990.

This blog post is very helpful, but it is different from my Nic model. I also share my installation process.

1. After Ubuntu 10.04 is installed, no Nic is found. The ifconfig result is only Lo, and eth0 cannot be found;

2. dmesg | grep-I network has no results;

3. lspci-v | grep-I Ethernet. The result is: 00: 19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation unknown device 10de (Rev 02 );

4. On the Dell official website, only Windows drivers are provided. Windows 7 does not automatically install the NIC driver. You can download and install the driver, but Linux does not!

5. Google: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/11960/ENG/e1000.htm,

Then select and download "Intel Gigabit CT desktop adapter" from: http://support.intel.com/supp//network/sb/cs-012904.htm"

Enter: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx? Lang = ENG & productfamily = Network + connectivity & productline = intel % C2 % AE + desktop + adapters & productproduct = intel % C2 % AE + Gigabit + CT + desktop + Adapter

Select the latest version for download;

6. decompress and download the software package e1000e-0.5.18.3.tar.gz. The decompressed file must be in the file system directory; otherwise, the following command will have an error;

7. Enter the e1000e-0.5.18.3/src/directory, and then sudo make install;

8. Run sudo modprobe e1000e to load the NIC module. The installation is complete.

 

Next we can configure the network through the graphic interface!

If the network card cannot be started, restart it:

Sudo/etc/init. d/networking restart

Another type of restart is to unplug the network cable and re-access it ~
