Unable to use E1000e Network driver | RHEL 7.8
by Ashish Sood from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57N2W)
Hi Everyone,
I am using RHEL7.8 on vmware workstation server and want to use e1000e network driver so that i can upgrade to RHEL8 as leapp preupgrade is getting failed with e1000 network driver.
I have blacklisted the e1000 driver and add the module e1000e but after the reboot i am unable to start the network services also my interface is down.
when i am trying to bring up the interface i am getting a below error
Code:#ifup ens34
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device virbr0 not available because profile is not compatible with device (mismatching interface name)).I am using vmware workstation 15.5.6 and vmtool has been installed to latest
I can also see the loaded network driver module.
Code:# lsmod | grep -i e1000
e1000e 248599 0
ptp 23551 1 e1000eNetwork service status
Code:# systemctl -l status network
