Installing Drivers on Linux (for Intel
Download the drivers from Intel Download Center or the Supermicro site at
www.supermicro.com/wftp/Networking_Drivers.
Build a Binary RPM Package
1. Run 'rpmbuild -tb <filename.tar.gz>'
2. Replace <filename.tar.gz> with the specific filename of the driver.
Note: For the build to work properly, the current running kernel MUST
match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources. If you
have just recompiled the kernel, reboot the system at this time.
Follow the instructions below to build the driver manually.
Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For example:
/home/username/ixgbe
or
/usr/local/src/ixgbe
3. Untar/unzip the archive, where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver tar
file:
tar zxf ixgbe-x.x.x.tar.gz
4. Change to the driver src directory, where <x.x.x> is the version number for
the driver tar:
cd ixgbe-x.x.x/src/
5. 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 may not be
correct for certain Linux distributions. For more information, see the ldistrib.txt
file included in the driver tar.
