[9fans] Intel Pro/1000 problem

[Philip Brooks]

Hello!  I'm brand new to Plan 9, and I'm installing it on a computer for 
the first time.  It's a Dell Precision 450, a P4 Xeon-based machine that 
seemed to mostly meet the things on the supported hardware list.  The 
integrated Ethernet is an Intel Pro/1000 MTW according to Windows and an 
82545EM according to Linux, but Plan 9 doesn't detect it.

Here's the relevant portion of the output of the pci command:

3.14.0: net  02.00.00 8086/100f  11 0:fe3e0004 131072 1:00000000 16 
4:0000ecc1 64

Thanks for any help,
Philip Brooks

i assume you are talking about the kernel and not 9load.
this card is recognized by plan 9. /sys/src/9/pc/etherigbe.c:38
	i82545em	= (0x100F<<16)|0x8086,
the other reason it would appear that your card is not recognized
is that it is not resetting properly.

if you are also in athens, i would be happy to take a look if you'd
bring the machine by.  contact me off list.
