Solution to Intel350T4 installation under Linux

我们使用的是 Intel I350 T4 网卡，有四个网口， lspci 可以看到设备，但 ifconfig 中只有集成网卡 eth0.

         lspci -v可以找到驱动模块为igb。dmesg | grepigb是发现igb probe failed with error -5和错误" NVMChecksum Is Not Valid",只能通过修改驱动源码来纠正，方法如下：

         1) Download Intel igb driver sourcefrom

         https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=13663

         2) Decompress the source

         tar zxvf igb-[VERSION].tar.gz

         cd igb-[VERSION]/src

    3) Delete the following entire piece ofcode in src/igb_main.c at line 2418

            

         /* make sure the NVM is good */

         if (e1000_validate_nvm_checksum(hw)< 0) {

                   dev_err(pci_dev_to_dev(pdev),"The NVM Checksum Is Not"

                   " Valid\n");

                   err = -EIO;

                   goto err_eeprom;

         }

         4) Run the following commands inside src folder,

         sudo modprobe -r igb

         sudo make install

         sudo modprobe igb

        5) This morning I update my CentOS to 6.6 and found following errors while compile igb:

This problem was caused by the kernel version checking in the compat layer.
