Intel network driver doesn't work anymore (VirtualBox)

Post by lpoulain »

Hello,

A couple of years ago, I implemented a driver for Intel Pro/1000 network adapter following the instructions from https://wiki.osdev.org/Intel_Ethernet_i217, and it was working fine.

However, when trying it recently the driver doesn't work anymore. Trying to send a packet doesn't send anything on the network, and the transmitter's status is never set to 1.

I assume that the implementation provided by VirtualBox has slightly changed but I'm not sure where. Has anybody encountered this?

Thanks,
L
