Intel LM 217 Ethernet card Not Working in Boss Linux 5.0


1.Download the driver from intel website using the URL following

    http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/e1000e-2.5.4.tar.gz


 Untar/unzip the archive, where is the version number for the
  driver tar file.

   tar zxf e1000e-.tar.gz

2. Change to the driver src directory, where is the version number
   for the driver tar:
   cd e1000e-/src/
3. Compile the driver module:
   # make install

   The binary will be installed as:
  /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/

   The install location listed above is the default location. This may differ
   for various Linux distributions.

5. Load the module using the modprobe command:
   modprobe e1000e

   With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older e1000e drivers are removed
   from the kernel, before loading the new module:
   rmmod e1000e; modprobe e1000e
6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where x
   is the interface number:
   ifconfig eth
7. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where IP_address
   is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
   that is being tested:
   ping
