[Hardware] Intel 82574L gigE NIC support?

I'm planning to get an Atom motherboard, the MSI IM-945GSE-A...

The Intel 82574L gigE NICs aren't on the v7 HCL; I was wondering if anyone knows if they will work, and with VLANs?

Looks like it was added to the Linux kernel on September 3rd.

How recent is the e1000 driver in the Astaro beta?

BTW, is there a new HCL for the beta?

Thanks,
Barry

DMESG tells me

Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.6.15.5-NAPI
Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Intel Corporation.

That is with cat /tmp/.build:
sles10.intranet.astaro.de:/asg-7.385-090112-1.iso (12:06:34)

But AFAIK you need the new e1000e kernel driver module which does not yet exist in ASG kernel.

hmm... any chance of getting that new module in by 7.4?

Or giving me a test build?

Thanks!

No, e1000e module has been delayed and will not be in v7.400 due to some problems with NICs used in our appliances which have to be fixed by Intel first.

There is already an open ID and we're at it, though.

OK, thanks.

What would be the best way for users to find out when new drivers have been installed in a release?

Thanks,
