Chapter 3: Installation
Note:
IGB_NO_LRO is a compile time flag. The user can enable it at
compile time to remove support for LRO from the driver. The flag is used
by adding CFLAGS_EXTRA=-”DIGB_NO_LRO” to the make file when it’s
being compiled.
make CFLAGS_EXTRA=”-DIGB_NO_LRO” install
5. Load the module:
For kernel 2.6.x, use the modprobe command:
modprobe igb <parameter>=<value>
For 2.6 kernels, the
insmod
command can be used if the full path to the driver
module is specified. For example:
insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/
igb/igb.ko
In addition, when using 2.6-based kernels, make sure that older igb drivers are
removed from the kernel before loading the new module. To do this, use:
rmmod igb; modprobe igb
6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where x is the
interface number:
ifconfig ethx <IP_address> netmask <netmask>
7.
Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address> is the
IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface that is
being tested:
ping <IP_address>
3-7 Installing Drivers on FreeBSD (for Intel
®

Follow the instructions below to install the drivers for FreeBSD kernel 4.8 or later.
In the instructions below, x.x.x is the driver version as indicated in the name of the
drive tar file.
Note:
You must have kernel sources installed in order to compile the
driver module.
1.
