Building and Installation
=========================

To build a binary RPM* package of this driver, run 'rpmbuild -tb
'. Replace with the specific filename
of the driver.

NOTE: For the build to work properly, the currently running kernel MUST match
the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources. If you
have just recompiled the kernel, reboot the system before building.

RPM functionality has only been tested in Red Hat distributions.

To manually build this driver:

1. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For example,
use /home/username/ixgbe or /usr/local/src/ixgbe.

2. Untar/unzip archive:

tar zxf ixgbe-x.x.x.tar.gz

3. Change to the driver src directory:

cd ixgbe-x.x.x/src/

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.

5. Load the module:
For kernel 2.6.x, use the modprobe command:
modprobe ixgbe =

Note that 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/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko

With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older ixgbe drivers are
removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:

rmmod ixgbe; modprobe ixgbe

6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
x is the interface number:

ifconfig ethX netmask

7. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where
is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
that is being tested:
ping

Reboot will be required
