Everything functions fine with two motherboard NICs. DSS seems to know that the four additional ports are there; however, DSS doesn’t install them as ethernet interfaces. I say that because there are four Intel Corporation Gigabit ET2 Quad Port Server Adapter listings under the Status/Hardware/Controllers info panel.
Specifications of the new Intel quad-port adapter:
Name: Intel Gigabit ET2 Multi-Port Adapter
Model: E1G44ET2
Controller: Intel 82576
Device ID: 1526
Vendor ID: 8086
I notice that DSS has current product compatibility with five 82576-based Intel network interfaces with device IDs of 10C9, 10E6, 10E7, 10E8, and 150A. That being the case I have two questions:
1) When can we expect DSS to support the Intel E1G44ET2 ?
2) In the meantime, is there a way to install the new device with a driver that supports one the five older 82576-based Intel interface cards ?
Intel Gigabit ET2 Quad-Port Support?
