Does the one that comes with the kernel not work for some reason? It's |
| 42 |
here according to the search page: |

│ Prompt: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet support |
| 45 |

Just build it in or add it as a module. In case you are new, go to |
| 55 |
Device Drivers, Network Device support, Ethernet 1000 Mbit then look for |
| 56 |
Intel Pro/1000. Sort of lists it backwards up there. ;-) |
