Ubuntu12.04 install the Intel 82579lm wireless NIC Driver

I have searched many places on the Internet and have not found any solutions, even in the Ubuntu Chinese community.

This can be an emergency. The ubuntu12.04 network cable will always be dropped in a short time, which is too annoying. The first time I installed the wicd, I didn't use it at all. As a result, the network's tray icon disappeared.

After a while, I also referred to some methods on the network, but there is no way to get the network's tray icon out. The result is to go to the official website to find the driver of Intel Corporation 82579lm gigabit network connection. The result is found on the following foreigner's website ....

Haha !!, That's exciting. In fact, I also found it before and will compile these files, namely make and make install. But I don't know how to install the driver in Linux...

However, this foreigner's website provides detailed information... Very goooood !!!

I got a HP Compaq 8200 PC today, which has a i7 CPU with 16 GB ddr3 Ram. after Ubuntu 10.04 64bit is installed, no network connection is found. note: To get into bios, press F10 immediately after reset.

It turns out Ubuntu 10.04 lucid does not support the Intel 82579lm PCIe Ethernet adapter.

Let's first find the driver source code from Intel:
Http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/README.txt
Http://support.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/home.htm (search 82579 in this page)
Another way to get the Linux driver from Intel's site is via searching Keyword:
Intel 82579 Gigabit Ethernet controller
Note: you may get a newer version than the one mentioned below.

The driver code is not in Linux kernel yet.

Time to build it:
You can use USB stick to move the code to HP Compaq 8200 as there is no network yet.

tar zxf e1000e-1.11.3.tar.gzcd e1000e-1.11.3/srcsudo make install

The driver is installed to/lib/modules // kernel/Drivers/NET/e1000e/e1000e. Ko

It's ready to use:

sudo modprobe e1000esudo ifconfig eth0 upsudo dhclient eth0ping intel.com

Note: whenever the kernel version is upgraded you will need rebuild this driver.
