[RTnet-users] Updating Driver e1000e to support I218V

[Niklaus W. <sim...@ho...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to see if it is possible to update the e1000e driver to support
the latest chip of Intel, I218V. I found the patch to go from support of
I217V to I218V which are simple adds of identifiers.
(http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/3-5-yuz-extended-stable-Patch-quot-e1000e-add-device-IDs-for-i218-quot-has-been-added-to-staging-quee-td5002425.html)
But the support of the I217V implies the support of a new Platform
Controller Hub, the Lynx Point Low Power (PCH_LPTLP). I found the patch
which is not too big to implement
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/229772/match=i217) but the
base of this patch seems to be a bit newer that the base of the current
rt_e100e. Could you tell me the version of the e1000e driver you use in the
last git source code ?
