Folks
I know that support for the network adaptors supported by the 'e1000' driver have been removed from the base distribution. However, I have exactly that controller (Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet PCI, not PCIe). Is there a way for me to add support for that on Centos 8.1? Perhaps a driver in an RPM package?
Thanks
David
The e1000 driver should be in the 8.1 kernel:
$ modinfo e1000 filename: /lib/modules/4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000.ko.xz version: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI license: GPL description: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver author: Intel Corporation, linux.nics@intel.com rhelversion: 8.1

Thanks for the suggestion. Modinfo does produce that result. But "the network doesn't work". My environment is a VirtualBox VM of Centos 8 on top of Windows 10. I've defined a bridged adaptor. The hardware is the Broadcom adaptor, using DHCP. No firewall is running in Centos 8 yet. This exact configuration works fine with Centos 7.
The symptom I see is that DHCP, Ping, DNS Lookup all work, but no data transfer seems to work. I tried a CURL command to a local web machine (works with Centos 7), and it just hangs. The web server does not see the request.
When I switch the network adaptor (in the VM) to NAT, everything works, probably indicating that the selection of the adaptor is the problem. I used the NAT interface to complete the install. Do you have any ideas?
