request for intel/igb backport

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Stable maintainers,

I am the proud owner of a new Supermicro server mainboard that uses
an LGA1150 socket and supports the new Intel Haswell CPUs that just
started shipping at the beginning of June.  The board has two
built-in gigabit ethernet NICs.  Here are their lspci lines:

  00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet 
    Connection I217-LM [8086:153a] (rev 04)
  03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I210 
    Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1533] (rev 03)

Upon loading the igb driver does not claim them (and likely doesn't
have what's needed to support them anyway).

Support for them appears to be added in:
  commit 2fbe4526e5aafc9ffa5d85fa4749a7c5b22af6b2
  commit f96a8a0b78548c0ec06b0b4b438db6ee895d67e9

Please consider backporting support for these devices to stable. I
expect we'll see a lot more of them hitting the streets soon and having
them in stable (and eventually distro install media) will be very
helpful.

Thanks,
