please , i am not a guru of code: here is my patch from our and this give me a compiled kernel-module https://www.qua-it.org/XFCE/shots/share-with-pclos/pclos/e1000e-kernel-5.7.new.patch ``# apt-get install dkms-e1000e-3.8.4-2pclos2020.x86_64.rpm Reading Package Lists...

BUT i CAN NOT Check on real Hardware

I think this can break the usability with kernel-5.6-series i must rebuild with "if kernelversion ...." e.t.c. to bring back the usability with 5.6...series? or can do this one from here?

Hope this will help!

I currently work around the problem as follows: a: with kernel-5.6.16 .. I leave the e1000e unpatched, I know that it works this way, thanks to a feedback from a forum member, b: only for kernels> 5.7.0 I let the patch work in dkms, and since today this also works with kernel-5.7.2

[ohquait]

@koljah-de can you reproduce that's on real hardware?

[ohquait]

i see the link to patch not working, so here in raw: e1000e-kernel-5.7.new.patch.txt

[dongbowh]

@ohquait https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/e1000e-dkms/#comment-742642 Has the test passed on kernel 5.7? This can be referred to, can be installed successfully, but not effective

[galtline]

Does anyone know if this will work in 5.8
