Salam, Peace, Bonjour... and Thanks
I have installed Openwrt on a x86 machine which has 2 NICs.

As you see the first one is supported. But the Intel 2.5 Gigabit is not.

kmod-e1000e does not seem to work with Intel 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Controller I225-V.
Is there any driver that supports this NIC ?
