[gentoo-user] kernel support for: i211 - intel network driver

[t***@sys-concept.com]

I have Asus X570-pro MB with Intel I211-AT network
When I compiled into the kernel (not as module) the "IGB" network driver
but the network is not recognized.

lsmod |grep igb is not showing anything.

I think the above commend only show anything if I compile it as a
module, isn't it?
If I compile it into the kernel, it will not show anything.

Anyhow, what driver should I use.

Not sure about the X570, but I have a system with X540 network adapters and I
need the " ixgbe " driver for that.

It might also be one of the others in
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support
-> Ethernet driver support
-> Intel devices

Yes, built-in drivers do not show up in lsmod.

I have this motherboard and I'm using the IGB driver (Intel(R)
82575/82576), built-in.

Have a look in dmesg and ifconfig, maybe the network adapter is
recognized but your network configuration is wrong.

Not sure how close the I211 is to the I219, but lspci -k shows;
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (6)
I219-V (rev 30)
DeviceName: LAN
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (6) I219-V
Kernel driver in use: e1000e

If i were you i'd just compile all these suggestions as modules and see
what gets loaded.

Hello,

The i219 is a completely different (and much older) chip; the right driver for the i211 is definitely igb.

That said, I think the OP should first make sure the onboard LAN is enabled in the BIOS and then post the output of "lspci -tv".
