So presumably a newer version of the driver would be part of the package. The kernel finds the appropriate driver in /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e. What more recent kernel can I run in Linux Mint 17.1? My last option, I think, is to install a more recent kernel. A problem, I believe with module.symvers. I have tried to replace the kernel version of e1000e with one of the newer versions, but they won't insert into the kernel. Porteus, and Bunsen Labs, booted from usb, run more recent versions of that driver. But that version of the driver dates from 2014. That driver is loaded in the LinuxMint kernel (3.13.0-37-generic). I'm writing this in Porteus running on the PC and booted from usb.Īs noted in the posts, the appropriate driver from Intel is e1000e. The hardware is fine - I can access my Ethernet connection with various new distros I run off of a usb. I've not tried wifi, but I would expect no problem there. Windows starts to boot but can't even complete and won't run. Linux runs, but without finding an Ethernet controller. I'm running Linux Mint 17.1 with all recommended software updates. My old MB died, so I built a new machine with a new MB, and installed all my old drives, expecting to run everything as before The new MB, an Asus z170 Pro Gaming, uses the Intel I219V Ethernet controller.
The procedure suggested above might work for me if I were willing to do a clean install. Still looking into it but although I've been using linux for quite some time now, I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes down to hardware and drivers
The 3-19-0.33 kernel produced the same kind of logs but at boot time! So I couldn't get INTO the system at all (the 4.x kernel let me in but I couldn't get out ). Nov 19 11:10:42 frodo kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00e0(Receiver ID)
When I turned the computer off and on and rebooted, I noticed my /var/log directory was filling up my partition (kern.log and syslog) with these kind of messages: However I couldn't reboot the computer it went to a black screen with a whole lot of logs being listed.
The latter seemed to work (booted ok and eth0 was present and working). I've got a i219-v intel ethernet adaptor. getting my Ethernet card to work correctly)
