If you currently have the 3.20 update package installed and are running it again because of this change, please note the following: Display firmware version (shown in the process display screen) upgrade/downgrade NVM) while performing an upgrade or downgrade remains unchanged. zip file contains all of the Intel Ethernet network drivers and software for currently supported versions of Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD for most. It will be updated and maintained automatically.The upgrade or downgrade is active, but the change is not visible from the version number shown. In that case you don't need to do anything. Let me know if you need more clarification.Īnyway, did you check Additional drivers (press Win and type it), Ubuntu community might provide the drivers. As you are building the driver yourself so any with any change in kernel you have to recompile the driver to make it compatible and include in this new kernel.basically you have to do the steps you did before modprobe. The kernel version is mentioned in grub menu like this text 3.2.0-25-generic.
Ubuntu provides update of kernels for stability and security. So if the core changes all drivers must be compatible with it. Kernel is the core of any operating system. What the thing is kernel update and blah blah. rc.local file is special file that runs when you logon.Īt the end of this file before the line exit 0 enter a line like this modprobe e1000e Now to do a modprobe automatically, edit rc.local file. Ping to confirm that you can connect to i.e. Ifconfig eth0 up - It is same as enable a Ethernet device in windows.ĭhclient eth0 is to get dynamic ip from your router. You can find more details using command man modprobe. Modprobe program to add and remove modules from the Linux Kernel. Note: Whenever the kernel version is upgraded you will need rebuild this driver.Īnd are these steps permanent? Or do I have to add them to some nf file for everytime I boot.Īnyways, the steps worked for me and I have established a connection with my router, I just need to know if I need to do additional steps to keep the driver permanently etc. What does he mean at the end when he mentions : The two other lines, I don't understand either what they are doing. Here's the tutorial I followed:Īs far as what I've read, modprobe seems to add the driver to the list of drivers for the kernel, but is that operation only good for one session? So I went on intel's website and downloaded the Drivers for Linux and compiled them with make install. I have the last version of Ubuntu(12.04).
I just bought a Lenovo T420, I booted the live CD and couldn't connect to my wireless router so I figured I needed the drivers for it.
