Download and Install the
i40evf
Driver (Linux)
6.
Select Download.
The download begins. The file named
i40evf-
x.x.xx.
tar.gz
is saved in the
~/Desktop
directory of your server.
Note - The primary driver link is a buildable source archive that works with Linux 2.6. x kernels
only and requires that the currently running kernel match the SRC RPM kernel files and headers
in order to build the driver. See the bundled
README
file in the unpacked archive from Intel for
more information.
For this example, assume that the file is named
i40evf-1.2.3.4.tar.gz
. The actual file might
have different version or subversion numbers.

Review and accept the software license agreement.

~/Desktop
to
/temp

# tar -zxvf i40evf-1.2.3.4.tar.gz
10. Go to the newly created
src
directory.
# cd /temp/i40evf-1.2.3.4/src

12. Load the
i40evf
driver.
# modprobe i40e vf
