update Intel e1000 and e1000e drivers
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

the latest VyOS 1.2 daily builds are still using very old drivers for Intel NICs - this prevents newer Intel interfaces from working (for example, VyOS will not recognize an Intel I219-V)

Fruite1000e1000e
VyOS Current 999.2018022603377.3.213.2.6
Intel[[https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/9180 | 8.0.35]][[https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15817 | 3.4.0.2]]

The fix should just be to merge in the Intel-provided e1000 source and e1000e source files to [[https://github.com/vyos/vyos-kernel/tree/current/drivers/net/ethernet/intel | vyos-kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/]], so that the new drivers are built.

The drivers shipped inside the Linux Kernel do not match the Intel ixgbe driver 100%. There are small feature discrepancys.

It would be better to check if newer drivers are in a newer 4.4.x series Kernel release. If not we could:

  • Upgrade Kernel to 4.14
  • Remove the build in drivers and compile the ixgbe driver

From my business Knowledge, I would go down the 4.14 road as brings drivers for other new Hardware, too. Not only Intel NICs.

cfgold: Old kernel configuration files should be dropped (see Q121)
debian: commits related to the debian folder for kernel builds ... more investigation needed by mysqlf

The Kernel commit/patch fc58d4a33953776 is used by https://github.com/vyos/vyatta-keepalived/commit/8bd97620 and VyOS 1.2 is using vyos-keepalived which no longer needs this patch.

The Kernel commit/patch e8b8c70f0e20666 is used by https://github.com/vyos/vyatta-cfg-quagga/commit/5182559eeb9ffa7acde43561c9a331f5e5bdf09c

The Kernel commit/patch e59dab9f2985869 seems to be obsolete. No consumer found via https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=org%3Avyos+SIOCTUNNELSTATS&type=Code

If e59dab9f2985869 is obsolete, so is 4c8de1009e13a97

I was actually playing around with this last night (building it via vyos-build myself) when I saw that the 4.14.26 vyos kernel package was up

vyos-999.201803161451-amd64 works great, with the interface immediately detected!
