Driver for Intel 82579V

[Gaurang Pandya]

Just wanted to inform all that with the help of Mike Tancsa, I was able to fix this by installing FreeBSD v8.2.

Thanks Mike once again.

Hi ,

I just bought a desktop with this mother board..

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh67cl.html

But ended up realizing that it has got built in NIC of Intel 82579V GE controller, which is not supported in 8 or later versions of FreeBSD, though I see intel giving its driver but thats for v7.x when I tried to compile same for v8 it failed with following error..

:> opt_bdg.h
cc -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Werror -D_KERNEL -DKLD_MODULE -nostdinc   -I. -I@ -I@/contrib/altq -finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param large-function-growth=1000 -fno-common  -mno-align-long-strings -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -ffreestanding -fstack-protector -std=iso9899:1999 -fstack-protector -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual  -Wundef -Wno-pointer-sign -fformat-extensions -c if_em.c

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/user/a/em-7.2.4/src.

Any info on how to get this NIC working under FreeBSD 8 or later? I am seeing /usr/src/sys/dev/e1000/e1000_ich8lan.c of v7 having some reference to this card but same is not available on v8 sources.
