Bug Description
== Quantal SRU Justification ==
i218 is the next-generation LOM that will be available on systems with the Lynx Point LP Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chipset from Intel. The following upstream patch provides the initial support of those devices. It will allow LAN connections but will be missing the enablement for actual low power savings. This will however at least allow testing on early platforms.
== Impact ==
Should be a very low risk of regression as this is just adding new pci id's.
== Test Case ==
Without this patch, these LOM's are unsupported. All you need to test is to boot a kernel without this patch applied on a system with this HW and confirm networking is unsupported. With this patch LAN connections are at least possible.
== Fix ==
This patch has been applied upstream as of v3.7-rc1 and is already in our Raring kernel:

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Quantal in -proposed solves the problem (3.5.0-20.31). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification- needed- quantal' to 'verification- done-quantal' .
If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
See https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Testing/ EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
