[Bug 83333] Intel Network Card 82562V not recognized on Dell Dimension E520

[P-Y Fourmond]

Public bug reported:

The Intel Network Card 82562V (Intel Corporation 82562V 10/100 Network
Connection) is not recognized on Dell Dimension E520 by Ubuntu 6.06.

This card uses the Intel e1000 driver that did not seem to be loaded by
kernel 2.6.15-26 shipped in xubuntu 6.06.

Thought it can't configure the network, Xubuntu installation goes on
until the end !

After loading explicitly the e1000 driver, the network still can't go
up:

root at xubuntu-desktop:~# /etc/init.d/networking  start

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

Some folks say on the net that problem is solved with 6.10 version but
that CD ROM may not be recognized by this version.

This problem has already been mentionned in Ubuntu forums
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=276126) but apparently stays
unsolved.

Is there a way to get an updated driver from Intel ?

I've found one but I'm not sure it's the right
(http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-009209.htm) and moreover
Xubuntu does not seem to install gcc properly.

Thank you for you help.
