ACPI enable may cause Dual Port Pro/1000 adapters to fail
Linux SNMP: Set operation fails on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
This file describes Linux distribution-specific issues. For general information and support, see the Support page.
If an issue is identified with the released source code on the supported kernel with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue to linux.nics@intel.com.
If you get unresolved symbol errors when loading the e1000 driver, perform
the following:
Then rebuild the driver.
While building the driver on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 installations,
the following warning may be displayed. It is safe to ignore this message. The
driver will load and function normally.
Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.69-obj/ia64/default/Module.symvers is
missing, modules will have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS disabled.
When trying to generate an RPM from the .tar.gz file, a segmentation fault (core dump) occurs. This failure occurs because Red Hat 7.1 uses version 4.0.2 of the RPM utility. This version does not have the ability to handle parameterized macros, which are used within the e100 and e1000 spec files to generate an RPM. Updating the RPM utility to a more current version resolves the issue. The utility can be obtained from http://www.rpm.org.
If ACPI is turned on in the kernel, dual port adapters may not work. This is due to a limitation in ACPI. Currently, this affects all new versions of SuSE and the United Linux family.
Running the set operation using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 fails when using the net-snmp-5.0.8 package. This issue has been fixed in net-snmp-5.0.9 package.

If there are errors while compiling the driver, do the following (step 3 is optional):
While building the driver, ignore the warning:
