We do not state anywhere its CentOS 6.5. Its the SHMZ OS 6.5 which is derived from CentOS 6.5. Please be careful with words that have trademarks such as CentOS.
Ok i will, if you feel the post is incorrect please edit?
I upgraded a stock CentOS 6.5 machine as per these instructions http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FD/Converting+Stock+Centos+to+a+FreePBX+Distro
which broke the NIC drivers, is there a way to get SHMZ OS 6.5 to work with intels e1000e: Intel® PRO/1000 Network Driver - 2.3.2-k Driver?
Yes the e1000e has a major issue we have a special driver we include in our repos just for this bug in Enterprise Linux 6.5.
yum install kmod-e1000e
Thanks, but you need to be able to get to the command prompt to run this, is there a way to jump out of the distro install run this and then back.
Nope sorry its for after install. The bug this solves is that the box locks up after a couple hours of running.
Ok thanks, will get new hardware and find a use for this supermicro motherboard. Should have gave up on this one long before.
Use it for Debian plus lampp asterisk dadhi and freepbx ;-)-

You could also install a supported network card.
alan, thats the problem, i have purchased a Realtek nic to get the install done and then change it, but the Realtek nic isnt supported probally because its a brand new nic. I only have one slot on the motherboard which is PCIe i have got a realtek nic that works in a tower but its PCI and so want to go with a 1U case and low watt power supply.
Might have to find a USB to ethernet adaptor that works and do the install then install the newer nic driver.
