Chapter 3: Installation

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>

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.
