No ethernet on Intel board

RouterOS General
1

Hi all

I have a Intel Frostburg motherboard with a 1.8Ghz Core2Duo and 1 GB RAM. I first installed this machine when v3.0rc4 was out. Back then it did not pick up the NIC. I sent off a ticket to MT and they said, please install latest routerOS(which was rc6 at the time). I did this, but still no luck.

I then kind of left the box under my desk for quite a while. Then last week, I got bored and decided to see what I can do. I took the box out, put the hard-drive in another box, installed v3.0rc13, thinking that by now there would be Intel chipset support. Guess I was wrong.

Ok so here is my question. When can we expect Intel Chipset support on MT, or should we buy cheap motherboards with VIA chipsets, which don’t last as long and have half the guarantee(well at least locally)?

Thanks in advance

if you can make linux see the NIC and use it then MT will support it soon. If linux won’t even run them yet then I would look elsewhere (sucks). This whole new Intel IOAT is good and all, but it completely changed the NIC as it used to be. http://www.intel.com/go/ioat/ Windows even seems to wait until the driver is loaded to enable these NICs since IOAT. I really wish MT would just specify in their release notes what version of the intel unified driver they used was at that time. PLEASE.
