1.
Move the base driver tar file to the dirctory of your choice. For example, use
/home/username/ixgb or /usr/local/src/ixgb.
2. Untar/unzip the archive:
tar xfz ixgb-x.x.x directory
3. To install man page:
cd ixgb-x.x.x
gzip -c ixgb.4 > /usr/share/man/man4/ixgb.4.gz
4. To load the driver onto a running system, perform the following steps:
cd ixgb-x.x.x
make
or
cd ixgb-x.x.x/src
make load
5. To assign an IP address to the interface, enter the following:
ifconfig ixgb<interface_num> <IP_address>
6.
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>
7. If you want the driver to load automatically when the system is booted:
cd ixgb-x.x.x/src
make load
cp if_ixgb.ko /modules
Edit /boot/loader.conf, and add the following line:
if_ixgb_load="YES"
or
compile the driver into the kernel (see item 8). Edit /etc/rc.conf, and create the
appropriate ifconfig_ixgb<interface_num> entry:
ifconfig_ixgb<interface_num>="<ifconfig_settings>"
