It's=20 here according to the search page: =E2=94=82 Prompt: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet support =E2=94=82 Defined at drivers/net/Kconfig:2085 =E2=94=82 Depends on: NETDEVICES [=3Dy] && NETDEV_1000 [=3Dy] && PCI [=3D= y] =E2=94=82 Location: =E2=94=82 -> Device Drivers =E2=94=82 -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=3Dy]) =E2=94=82 -> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) (NETDEV_1000 [=3Dy]) =E2=94=82 Just build it in or add it as a module. In case you are new, go to=20 Device Drivers, Network Device support, Ethernet 1000 Mbit then look for=20 Intel Pro/1000. Sort of lists it backwards up there. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
