This driver has been ported from Linux and is based on the Linux kernel module e1000e. It is released under the GNU Public License and anyone can request access to the source repository. ** Supported hardware ** The following Intel Gigabit chipsets are suported by this driver (the number behind the network model is the vendor and chipset ID): 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1049] 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:104a] 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection [8086:104b] 82562V 10/100 Network Connection [8086:104c] 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection [8086:104d] 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:105e] 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:105f] 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:1060] 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:107d] 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Fiber) [8086:107e] 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:107f] 82573V Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:108b] 82573E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:108c] 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:1096] 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Serdes) [8086:1098] 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:109a] 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:10a4] 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Fiber) [8086:10a5] 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10b9] 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10ba] 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Serdes) [8086:10bb] 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10bd] 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10bf] 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection [8086:10c0] 82562G-2 10/100 Network Connection [8086:10c2] 82562GT-2 10/100 Network Connection [8086:10c3] 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection [8086:10c4] 82562G 10/100 Network Connection [8086:10c5] 82567V Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10cb] 82567LM-2 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10cc] 82567LF-2 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10cd] 82567V-2 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10ce] 82574L Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10d3] 82571PT Gigabit PT Quad Port Server ExpressModule [8086:10d5] 82571EB Dual Port Gigabit Mezzanine Adapter [8086:10d9] 82571EB Quad Port Gigabit Mezzanine Adapter [8086:10da] 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10de] 82567LF-3 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10df] 82567LM-4 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10e5] 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10ea] 82577LC Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10eb] 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10ef] 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10f0] 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10f5] 82574L Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10f6] 82567V-3 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1501] 82583V Gigabit Network Connection [8086:150c] 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:294c] This driver is useful for people who for example use one of the newer Thinkpads. It should work on the Thinkpads from Lenevo from the 400, 500 and 700 series with an Intel NIC that is currently not supported by eComStation. Please note that this NIC driver does not support wireless chipsets, but only ethernet wired adapters. ** Obtaining the driver ** People with an active eComStation software subscription can download the driver by logging in at http://www.mensys.com/login and then click on "downloads". Select "Mensys B.V. Software Subscription Services for (your eComstation version)" and select "Access eComStation BetaZone". In the eComstation betazone select "files" and then in the filter menu option "Intel e1000 NIC driver". ** Getting support ** In order to receive support for this driver please refer to the included README.TXT file. We need your feedback on this driver in the right place, so please follow the instructions on how to properly report a bug.
