10-Gig Ethernet adapter linux driver not working.
Hello,
I am running redhat kernel 2.6.9-34.ELsmp. I just installed the Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adpater and the driver to go with it. I ran the following commands per the installation instructions:
# depmod - returned prompt with no errors
# modprobe ixge - returned prompt with no errors
# lsmod - the ixge is in the list.
# dmesg - shows the correct output
# added "Alias eth0 ixge" to /etc/modules - this file was not there.
# ethtool eth0 - shows the following output
