6.2.2 Install on HP Z230

[trox]

Strange things comes up... I put back the integrated i217-lm nic, and everything works fine :DDD So for me the only thing I needed just another NIC to upgrade and after that, the original works like a charm

update package 4, 918+, files inside:

"linux-4.4.x-apollolake-bin_4.4.15-24922-s4_all.deb", package with new kernel drivers, does not contain a new e1000e.ko driver and there is only "flashupdate_6.2-24922-s3_all.deb" no "s4", that flashupdate could contain a new rd.gz with a new driver

usually a new driver would be in "linux-4.4.x-apollolake-bin_4.4.15-24922*" and "flashupdate*"  and there is no e1000e.ko in all updates

whatever you did its not coming from the dsm updat4

e1000e.ko inside rd.gz u3, version 3.3.4

e1000e. ko in initial 6.2.2, version 3.3.4

so nothing to support your claim that u4 is the reason

i also checked 6.2.0 (v23739), e1000e.ko version 3.3.4

either it worked all the time and you did not noticed it or you introduced a new driver like from my extra.lzma (contains version 3.6.0)

please check log on console with "dmesg" to see whats written to the log, when starting the driver, there should be a version number for the driver in use

also please check with " lspci -k | grep 'Kernel driver' " what vendor- and product-id your i217-lm nic has, that can usually be checked against a driver (source) to see if a device is supported

ok, with the grep we only see the line with the driver and not the info about the pcie device

"lspci -k" and then the two sections with e1000e

would be something like this (in my case here for tn40xx)

0000:07:00.0 Class 0200: Device 1fc9:4024
        Subsystem: Device 1fc9:3015
        Kernel driver in use: tn40xx

 

result for dmesg might look like this, e1000e in this case is jaust loaded but no hardware present, if the hardware is present there will be more (like tn40xx in my example)
