Driver Support
For Windows, the Ethernet controller is supported by a driver provided by Intel. A copy of this driver is provided on the companion CD that is
shipped with the board, and may also be downloaded from the RTD web site (
www.rtd.com
) or the Intel web site (
www.intel.com
). It is
recommended that you frequently check the RTD web site for updated documentation and drivers.
Under Linux, the Ethernet controller is supported via the
e1000e
kernel module that is included with recent Linux 2.6.x kernels. Most modern
desktop Linux distributions will automatically detect the Ethernet controller and load the necessary drivers. Contact the vendor of your Linux
distribution for more information.
For other operating systems, the Ethernet controller may be natively supported via built-in drivers. Your operating system vendor should be
able to provide the necessary information.
NOTE: Although the Intel WG82574IT is a Gigabit-capable Ethernet
controller, the fiber interface is limited to 100Mbit
