Using the Linux ixgbe* base driver for 10 gigabit network connections
The ixgbe driver supports 82598- and 82599-based PCI Express* 10 Gigabit Network Connections.
For information concerning driver configuration details, refer to the README file in the ixgbe driver download.
The Linux* base driver supports the 2.6.x kernel, and includes support for any Linux-supported system, including Intel® Itanium® Processors: 2, x86_64, i686, and PPC.
These drivers are only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel isn’t supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the driver. A version of the driver may already be included by your distribution and/or the kernel.org kernel. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux.
The following features are now available in supported kernels:
- Native VLANs
- Channel Bonding (teaming)
- SNMP
- Generic Receive Offload
- Data Center Bridging
You can find Channel Bonding documentation in the Linux kernel source /Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.
The driver information previously displayed in the /proc file system isn’t supported in this release. Alternatively, you can use ethtool (version 1.6 or later), lspci, and ifconfig to obtain the same information.
The driver in this release is compatible with 82598- and 82599-based Intel Network Connections.
SFP+ devices with pluggable optics
If your 82599-based Intel® Network Adapter came with Intel® optics or is an Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter X520-2, it only supports Intel optics and/or the direct attach cables listed below.
When 82599-based SFP+ devices are connected back to back, they should be set to the same Speed setting via ethtool. Results may vary if you mix speed settings.

82599-based adapters support all passive and active limiting direct attach cables that comply with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472 v10.4 specifications.
Laser turns off for SFP+ when ifconfig down
- ifconfig down turns off the laser for 82599-based SFP+ fiber adapters.
- ifconfig up turns on the laser.
Intel® Network Adapters that support removable optical modules only support their original module type (for example, the Intel® 10 Gigabit SR Dual Port Express Module only supports SR optical modules). If you plug in a different type of module, the driver won’t load.
Hot Swapping/hot plugging optical modules isn’t supported.
Only single speed, 10 gigabit modules are supported.
LAN on Motherboard (LOMs) may support DA, SR, or LR modules. Other module types aren’t supported. See your system documentation for details.

Уведомление об изменении, 1 сентября 2021 г.:
Обновлена адаптер Intel® Ethernet Полной версии драйвера, драйвер адаптер Intel® Ethernet драйвера для устройств серии E810 в linux и примечания к выпуску Intel® Ethernet Controller продукции версии 26.4. Если в настоящее время у вас установлен пакет 26.4 и вы повторно используете этот пакет после этого Уведомления об изменении, обратите внимание на следующее:
Драйвер Linux был обновлен с исправлениями для следующих проблем:
1. Драйвер позволяет нескольким виртуальным функциям иметь один и тот же MAC-адрес. Для этого необходимо отключить проверку VF sp disabled.
2. Существует улучшение уровня задержек пакетов размером 2 и 4 кб для трафика TCP.
3. Драйвер точно сообщает тип AUI-C2C PHY как режим связи KR ethtool.
Драйвер Linux v1.6.4 заменен на v1.6.7 для сетевых адаптеров 100 GbE Intel® Ethernet и Intel® Ethernet Controller продукции.
С этой информацией были обновлены примечания к выпуску для версии 26.4.
Сетевые адаптеры 100 Intel® Ethernet GbE — только если вы включите указанные выше проблемы в системе Linux
Если у вас возникли проблемы, перечисленные выше, рекомендуется выполнить обновление до файла «Полный пакет драйверов». В противном случае обновление не требуется. Драйвер в ранее выпущенной версии пакета по-прежнему действителен. Все другие файлы остаются как есть; на другую продукцию это не повлияет.
О драйверах intel®
Если вы приобрели сервер или устройство с торговой маркой OEM-производителя, обратитесь к OEM-производителю за версией драйвера ПО, совместимой с вашей точной версией FW. Использование версий ПО и FW, которые не были проверены на совместимость, влияет на производительность, доступность функций и стабильность системы.
Для получения подробного списка функций, исправлений, известных проблем и общей информации о выпуске загрузите примечания к выпуску и ознакомьтесь с readme.txt, включенным в каждый выпуск программного обеспечения. Примечания к выпуску
Это. zip-файл содержит все драйверы Intel® Ethernet и программное обеспечение для поддерживаемых в настоящее время версий Windows*, Linux* и FreeBSD* для большинства Intel® Ethernet адаптеров. Не все Intel® Ethernet и контроллеры Intel® Ethernet поддерживаются в каждой версии Windows, Linux или FreeBSD.
Это большой файл. Мы рекомендуем загружать файлы меньшего объема для вашей операционной системы, если вам не нужно программное обеспечение для каждой ОС.
