We ordered a couple of the new HP DL160 G6, cause they can be equipped with a lot of RAM. Unfortunately it’s always the same with HP and the bandnew ProLiant 100 series … the driver for the NICs is missing/too old in the latest stable debian release. The DL160 G6 is shipped with a Intel 82576 GBit NIC, which isn’t recognized by Lenny, see also #522922.
I installed the system with another NIC installed (not really, but this is a way it works :) and wanted to get free the PCI-X slot again. So I did backport dkms and downloaded the latest igb driver. A short look into /usr/share/doc/dkms/HOWTO.Debian did advice me the way to create the DKMS driver package. Just after a couple of minutes I did roll out the igb-dkms_2.0.6_all.deb to the target maschine(s).
On the target systems I just installed dkms, the DKMS package and appropriate linux-headers and … sim, salabim … there was the interfaces. :)

Hi,
I wrote an article about using igb drivers during a Debian netinst installation and then use your package on the definitive system.

Thanks for your package and your article.

A fixed driver will be provided with linux-2.6 2.6.26-21, which should be included in 5.0.4, which is announced for to be released for the last friday this month. So we will have prebuild installers available.
hi cyco ,
can the linux-2.6 2.6.26-21 in 5.0.4 fix the Intel 82576 GBit NIC card problems without doing backport?
Jepp, 2.6.26-21lenny3 (since 5.0.4) solves the issue. So the dkms workaround is deprecated.
I did not understand what are u saying? please tells me in details if u have time .
actually i make cd of 504 lenny but at the time of installation its gives as …….no ethernet card found ….and if i choose igb driver it cant accept.
plz help me?
Just from the linux-2.6 (2.6.26-21) changelog:
* igb: Add 82576 MAC support (Closes: #522922), backport
