Linux* e1000e base driver for Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection installation instructions If your kernel supports DCA, the driver will build by default with DCA enabled. If you're no longer getting interrupts in cat /proc/interrupts for the ethX igb device, then this workaround may be necessary. Normally the driver will generate an interrupt every two seconds.
#LINUX NETWORK DRIVER INSTALL#
If your system needs to disable this style of interrupt, the driver can be built and installed with the command: make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DDISABLE_PCI_MSI install
Some systems have trouble supporting MSI and/or MSI-X interrupts. Enter the following, where is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface that is being tested: ping
#LINUX NETWORK DRIVER DRIVERS#
With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older igb drivers are removed from the kernel, before loading the new module: rmmod igb modprobe igbĪssign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where is the interface number: ifconfig eth For example: insmod /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/igb/igb.ko
#LINUX NETWORK DRIVER FULL#
Load the module using either the insmod or modprobe command: modprobe igb insmod igb Noteįor 2.6 kernels the insmod command can be used if the full path to the driver module is specified. This may differ for various Linux distributions. The install location listed above is the default location. The binary will be installed as: /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/igb/igb.ko Untar/unzip the archive, where is the version number for the driver tar file: tar zxf Ĭhange to the driver src directory, where is the version number for the driver tar: cd igb-/src/
#LINUX NETWORK DRIVER UPDATE#
You may need to perform a general update and restart before the next steps.ĭownload current igb package from Download Center. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice.įor example, use /home/username/igb or /usr/local/src/igb.
The driver information previously displayed in the /proc file system isn't supported in this release. For a basic tutorial for the technology, see NIST. The igb driver supports IEEE 1588 time stamping for kernels 2.6.30 and above. The following features are available in supported kernels:įind channel bonding documentation in the Linux kernel source: /documentation/networking/bonding.txt. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux. For questions related to hardware requirements, see the documentation supplied with your Intel Gigabit adapter. We don't supply patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the drivers. These drivers are only supported as a loadable module. These drivers include support for Intel® Itanium® 2 Processor-based systems. The Linux base drivers support the 2.4.x, 2.6.x and 3.x kernels. The Linux* igb driver supports all 82575, 82576, 82580, I350, I354, and I210/I211 based Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Network Connections.įor driver configuration details, see the Read Me file in Download Center. Select the proper version below for download and installation instructions.Ĭlick on the topic for details: Linux* igb* base driver for Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection installation instructions Bug fixes and changes are made upstream in the Linux kernel. In brief, the kernel drivers (drivers included with the Operating System) will be the latest. Thus, the latest e1000e release is 3.8.7 and the latest for e1000 is 8.0.35.
