Hi,
Is someone has an experience for adding a network driver when starting a network installation.
My network internal card is : Intel 82567M Gigabit (laptop HP 8530w)
This card is not recognized by my system : CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (kernel 2.6.9-92)
How to add correctly this driver for a network installation ?
I can add the Intel driver e1000e-0.5.11.2 after the installation and the network card works fine, but I need to do network installation, and this card need to be recognized before starting.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Best Regards.

If you want to do a network install you have to modify your initrd.img to include the specific network kmod. That's what i did for the eeepc/CentOS 5.2 network setup You can also create a repo then that can be used during setup so that the network kmod will be installed on the filesystem too and that you have network access after the first reboot without having to manually install the driver/module
But it's not working :-(
1 - After installing CentOS 5.2 from scratch, I need to add the following rpm for recognized my network card : http://centos.toracat.org/ajb/CentOS-5/e1000e/kmod-e1000e-0.5.11.2_NAPI-1.el...
OK it's working after install the following files. I have the network. Good ! rpm -qlp kmod-e1000e-0.5.11.2_NAPI-1.el5.x86_64.rpm /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5 /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/extra /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/extra/e1000e /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/extra/e1000e/e1000e.ko
2 - for my network installation I do the following for trying to add the new e1000e.ko module. Something is mistake :-( but I don't know what . a dependency ? please HELP !

If you can wait a few weeks, the 5.3 installer might have this driver in it.
