Re: Does Debian 5 support Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter?

I had some issues with some of the latest Intel NIC cards on Debian 
lenny revision 3 (2.6.26 kernel).  Particularly if they require newer 
versions of the igb driver to operate.  Debian seems to be a bit dated 
for drivers in their stock kernels.

If you have this issue you can use DKMS to auto recompile the igb driver 
source code at boot time after a kernel updates.  Works like a charm.

I suspect that 2.6.31 kernel should have support tho.
