Detailed Description

Update

This is the most current release of the ixgbevf driver for Linux*, which supports kernel versions 2.6.18 up through 5.6. It also has been tested on the following distributions:

  • RHEL* 7.8
  • RHEL 8.2
  • SLES* 12SP4
  • SLES 12SP5
  • SLES 15
  • SLES 15sp1
  • Ubuntu* 18.04
  • Ubuntu 19.04

Changes in this release

  • Added support for 5.6 kernel version
  • Added support for RHEL 7.8
  • Added support for RHEL 8.2

Note that while we attempt to keep the driver version number (4.7.1) in sync with its counterpart in the Linux kernel that has similar functionality this is far from authoritative. If you are using a newer kernel.org kernel or distro it is likely that its ixgbevf driver is at least as up to date as the out of tree (OOT) driver found here.

The ixgbe driver supports devices based on the following controllers:

  • Intel® Ethernet Controller 82598

  • Intel® Ethernet Controller X540
  • Intel® Ethernet Controller x550
