Troubles with the installation of the e1000e intel driver (I219-V)

  • Hi!



    I want to install OMV 4.1.22 on the following system:

    • ASRock DeskMini 310
    • Intel Pentium Gold G5600
    • 8GB RAM

    i can install OMV with an USB-Ethernet-card, but i have problems with the internal Ethernet card I219v. the preinstalled e1000e-driver of the kernel doesn't seem to work. (the following output is from an ubuntu 18.04 installation, where the card works)


    Code
    obiwahn@ubuntu:~$ lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2 
    00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V [8086:15bc] (rev 10)
    	Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V [1849:15bc]
    	Kernel driver in use: e1000e
    	Kernel modules: e1000e

    one solution, i have found, is to take the intel driver directly from the website. i' following the instructions on the downloadpage. The building of the new kernel modul is successfull, but i can't get the new driver to work. I think, i make a mistake loading the driver permanently. What have I forgotten?


    Thanks, ObiWahn

    That NIC should work fine with the 4.19 kernel. Once you install OMV, are you fully updating the system (should install the 4.19 kernel) wiht the usb nic?

    omv 7.0.4-2 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.5 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.10 | compose 7.1.2 | k8s 7.0-6 | cputemp 7.0 | mergerfs 7.0.3

    Please try ctrl-shift-R and read this before posting a question.

    Please put your OMV system details in your signature.
    Please don't PM for support... Too many PMs!

  • Yes, i did, but it didn't work. in addition I have installed the 4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 with "apt-get dist-upgrade". But nothing changed, the e1000e driver didn't work.


    But i tried it again from the beginning and in the end, i made it.
    I used the following instruction (it is in german) and changed some parts: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/d…eren?xtxsearchselecthit=1


    Here is my way:

    • Install build-essential

      • apt-get install build-essential
    • The installation of the linux-headers did end with an apt error, so i had to use this command:

      • apt install -t stretch-backports linux-headers-4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64
    • Link the headers (Don't know if it necessary)

      • ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux
    • Download the e1000e driver from the intel-website via wget

      • wget [url]https://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/e1000e-3.4.2.4.tar.gz[/url]
    • Unpack the driver

      • tar xzvf e1000e-3.4.2.4.tar.gz
    • Compile the driver

      • cd e1000e-3.4.2.4/src 
      • make
      • make install
    • Reload moduls

      • depmod -a
    • Rebuild initramfs

      • update-initramfs -u -k all
    • Check the driver version

      • modinfo e1000e | grep version
    • Load the driver module (Don't know if it necessary)

      • modprobe e1000e
