Open-e runs fine on my Asus workstation motherboard (P5W64 WS). Today I install a new quad port nic (Intel PRO/1000 VT), but just like in this topic: http://forum.open-e.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45 the port won't show up.
Can you review this link. I will have to ask engineers if something can be done. But for all who reference this case this version is an iSCSI-R3 SMB - EOL.
OK, I saw that there were several updates that could be installed. Don't know if that would help.
Older kernels do not (always) recognize these nic (that is what I found on the internet). A "normal" e1000 driver should work.
