[etherlab-users] ec_e1000e driver not finding NIC? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Gavin Lambert]

You can still include the standard one if you want to be able to swap
between them.

But you have to make sure that it's built as a module, not compiled in.
(kernel config set =M, not =Y.)

The service start script will automatically unload the standard module and
replace it with the Etherlab module, and vice versa on stop.
