Jepp, 2.6.26-21lenny3 (since 5.0.4) solves the issue. So the dkms workaround is deprecated.

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?

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.
