Intel Sandy Bridge Intel 82579v Network driver (motherboards like Asus P8P67 PRO)
This is how I got the Intel 82579v Network adapter on my new Intel Sandy Bridge Asus P8P67 PRO motherboard working in Fedora 14 64-bit Live CD install.

Thanks to the guys, including Panther505, who assisted me with this on this thread (forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=257676)

I used the Fedora 14 Desktop Edition 64-bit live CD to install Fedora on my PC. These instructions are for that version. If you installed the 32-bit version, then you will need the equivalent 32-bit i386 or i686 RPM packages instead.

First, you will need a bunch of required Fedora RPM packages that are not installed by default with the Live CD install. Download the following RPM packages from this link to your USB drive. (download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/)
Code:

binutils-2.20.51.0.7-5.fc14.x86_64.rpm
cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
cpp-4.5.1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm
gcc-4.5.1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm
glibc-2.12.90-17.x86_64.rpm
glibc-common-2.12.90-17.x86_64.rpm
glibc-devel-2.12.90-17.x86_64.rpm
glibc-headers-2.12.90-17.x86_64.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64.rpm
kernel-headers-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64.rpm
libgomp-4.5.1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm
libmpc-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
perl-5.12.2-136.fc14.x86_64.rpm
perl-libs-5.12.2-136.fc14.x86_64.rpm
perl-Module-Pluggable-3.90-136.fc14.noarch.rpm
perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-136.fc14.noarch.rpm
perl-Pod-Simple-3.13-136.fc14.noarch.rpm
perl-threads-1.81-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm
ppl-0.10.2-10.fc12.x86_64.rpm

Second, you will need to download the Intel Wired Ethernet source driver e1000e-1.2.20.tar.gz from this link to your USB drive (sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/e1000e%20stable/1.2.20/)

Third, install the above RPM packages from your USB drive on the Fedora PC using this command as root in the same directory as the RPM packages:
Code:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Forth, install the Intel Wired Ethernet e1000e network adapter driver as root in the same directory on the Fedora PC as the e1000e-1.2.20.tar.gz file:
Code:

gunzip e1000e-1.2.20.tar.gz
tar xvf e1000e-1.2.20.tar
cd e1000e-1.2.20/src
make install
modprobe e1000e

If your network is setup for DHCP, then your network interface should now be up and running. Run Firefox to test your Internet connection.

You can run ifconfig to see your network interface or right-click on the networking icon on the top right of your screen and select Connection Information to see it also.

Note: If you update your kernel, then you will need to:
Keep the Intel e1000e driver files on your Fedora PC's hard drive. 
Reboot to use the new kernel. (Note your network interface will not be working at this point with the new kernel)
cd e1000e-1.2.20/src
make install
modprobe e1000e
Network interface should automatically connect now.

This whole process should not be needed with the next Fedora 15 version since that kernel should support this LAN driver by default.

Enjoy!
