Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted March 31, 2019 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hey Everyone, I've gone ahead and patched debian-sources-lts so that we have support for the latest Intel e1000e Ethernet chipsets. I ported an updated driver from 4.20/5.x into the new 4.9.144_p3-r1 ebuild. My Intel Core i7 8700-based system is now happily using its on-board Ethernet rather than needing a USB-based Ethernet dongle. Enjoy the kernel and also be sure to report any hardware compatibility issues that may be impacting you and preventing you from using debian-sources-lts to bugs.funtoo.org. I can always look into porting updated drivers to get this kernel working better for you. Best, Daniel AdiosKid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
