Hi guys, I'm working on a Dell R720 that has an I350 (8086:1521) with two ports and X540-AT2 (8086:1528) with two ports.
The box is using Oracle Linux 6 (RHEL6 clone) however it is using the "unbreakable enterprise kernel" 2.6.39-100.6.1.el6uek.x86_64 which is based on mainline Linux 3.0.16 with some patches. The public git repo for the kernel is here: http://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=linux-uek-2.6.39.git;a=summary With the latest igb-3.4.7 driver I have don't have link after a reboot. I have to unload and reload the driver to get link. modprobe -r igb sleep 2 modprobe igb Note, I did have to apply this patch to kcompat.h to get it to compile: #if ( LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,3,0) ) -typedef u32 netdev_features_t; +/* typedef u32 netdev_features_t; */ UPDATE: I found out that I lost link when the Dell OMSA daemons start. I didn't track down which one in particular, I just uninstalled OMSA. OMSA version 6.5 doesn't work well on the R720 anyway. Hopefully when OMSA 7 comes out it won't have this problem.
