Installation
This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel PRO/1000 Family of
Adapters, version 4.1.x. This driver is intended for 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels;
it is known to build properly on 2.2.x kernels through 2.2.20 and on 2.4.x
kernels through 2.4.17. Intel focused testing on Intel processor-based
systems running kernels 2.4.7 and 2.2.16. This driver includes support for
Itaniumô-based systems.
The Intel PRO/1000 driver is only supported as a loadable module at this
time. Intel is not supplying patches against the kernel source†to allow for
static linking of the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements,
refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All
hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux.
New features include support for the Intel PRO/1000 desktop adapter.
