Our system, running 6.3.0 SP2, has a hard-wired Intel 82546GB dual-port
network adapter. Our application requires the addition of a third
ethernet interface so I added an Intel Pro/1000 GT adapter board. The
Pro/1000 has an Intel 82541PI. The pci command lists the newly added
device (see below, the PCI ID is 0x107c) but io-net doesn't find it
(i.e. /dev/io-net only contains two en's 0 and 1). Not surprisingly,
ifconfig doesn't know about the new adapter either. PCI device ID 0x107c
is in the Intel network adapter section of /etc/system/enum/devices/net
file (I applied patch 214). Any ideas why the ethernet interface on the
new adapter isn't starting? Thanks.
