To answer my own question, after scanning the source of the e1000e driver, it appears it does not look for PCI ID 8086:100f - therefore will not load for the 82545EM NIC emulated by VMware.
The e1000 driver will need to be added. -- linux-image-2.6.24-12-virtual is missing e1000 nic driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
