---+Setup Network on a Woodcrest Server

Steps to setup network driver as a loadable module on an Intel Woodcrest server
(Intel 5000 series chipsets)

Server specifications: %BR%
mainboard Supermicro model X7DVL-E, 4 GB FB-DIMM memory, 160 GB SATA II disk %BR%
OS: SL 3.0.3


(1) driver module download (Intel PRO/1000 family adapter - includes support for Intel I/OAT):

http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000V/X7DVL-E.cfm

OS Manufacturer: !RedHat; OS: Linux Enterprise v3; Drive type: LAN

(2) kernel source download:

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/303/i386/SL/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.21-20.EL.i386.rpm

Note: driver and kernel source rpm transferred to server using USB flash drive
- plug flash drive then mount device:  %BR%
==# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flashdrive==  %BR%
(see ==/var/log/messages== to check if flash drive was correctly recognised by the system)

(3) kernel source installation:

# rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.21-20.EL.i386.rpm==   %BR%

(4) driver installation:

==# tar zxvf e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz==   %BR%
==# cd e1000-x.x.x/src/==   %BR%
==# make install==   %BR%
==# modprobe e1000==   %BR%

(See ==e1000-x.x.x/README== for detailed instructions on configuring optional parameters)

(5) Assign IP address to the interface and check if it's ok:

==# ifconfig ethX X.X.X.X==   %BR%
==# ethtool ethX==   %BR%
