Chapter 3: Installation
4. Compile the driver module:
make install
The binary will be installed as:
/lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.[k]o
The install locations listed above are the default locations. They might not be
correct for certain Linux distributions. For more information, see the ldistrib.txt
file included in the driver tar.
Note:
IXGBE_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=-”DIXGBE_NO_LRO” to the make file when
it’s being compiled.
make CFLAGS_EXTRA=”-DIXGBE_NO_LRO” install
5. Load the module:
For kernel 2.6.x, use the modprobe command:
modprobe ixgbe <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/
ixgbe/ixgbe.ko
In addition, when using 2.6-based kernels, make sure that older ixgbe drivers
are removed from the kernel before loading the new module. To do this, use:
rmmod ixgbe; modprobe ixgbe
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>
