RE: Woody and e1000 NICs - Checked by Vexira - - Checked by Vexira - -
Thanks for answering. After much hair pulling and gnashing of teeth, I
managed to find a site that has a installer for Debian that recognized
my NICs and much more. Address:
http://www.css.washington.edu/~bbell/e1000/
I Put in the cd and bam it found it right away. Thanks to the
individuals who wrote it and also maintain that sight. I am now in the
process of re-installing but with the addition of my NICs. Thanks to
all who answered. Now if I could just figure out how to use the silly
thing ;-)

I don't believe the bf-2.4 version contains those drivers. That would
explain why it didn't recognize the cards. Download the kernel source
for the latest stable 2.4 kernel here: http://www.kernel.org/
I would then check out this document:

NOTE: This was originally on linuxmagau's sight, but it looks like they
have decided to close shop after being cracked... :( Too bad. I really
like Jon Oxer's writing style. Jon, if you read this, put the documents
you had written for linuxmagau up on your sight! They are well written
and would be missed. :)
Roll your own kernel to add these new drivers.
