The answer is the same for all the drivers: we have identified a fix for the current Ubuntu. However, currently Ubuntu doesn't have a unique identifier that allows us to create general workarounds.
The next driver release should have a build fix for Ubuntu. However, this leads to another question: Ubuntu's release is much more recent than most of our standalone drivers at this time. For most cases people should stick with the in-kernel driver. Also, I don't know when the next driver will be released (and I should know, I've been putting fixes in as they come up).

I'm trying to compile the 5.2.5 igb module on Ubuntu 14.04 with a 3.13.0-30-generic kernel, and I get the following errors: $sudo make install make -C /lib/modules/3.13.0-30-generic/build SUBDIRS=/usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-30-generic' CC [M] /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.o In file included from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb.h:55:0, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:53: /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/kcompat.h:4015:6: error: nested redefinition of 'enum pkt_hash_types' enum pkt_hash_types { ^ /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/kcompat.h:4015:6: error: redeclaration of 'enum pkt_hash_types' In file included from include/linux/if_ether.h:23:0, from include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:17, from include/linux/ethtool.h:16, from include/linux/netdevice.h:42, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:32: include/linux/skbuff.h:732:6: note: originally defined here enum pkt_hash_types { ^ In file included from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb.h:55:0, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:53: /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/kcompat.h:4016:2: error: redeclaration of enumerator 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_NONE' PKT_HASH_TYPE_NONE, ^ In file included from include/linux/if_ether.h:23:0, from include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:17, from include/linux/ethtool.h:16, from include/linux/netdevice.h:42, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:32: include/linux/skbuff.h:733:2: note: previous definition of 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_NONE' was here PKT_HASH_TYPE_NONE, /* Undefined type */ ^ In file included from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb.h:55:0, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:53: /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/kcompat.h:4017:2: error: redeclaration of enumerator 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2' PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2, ^ In file included from include/linux/if_ether.h:23:0, from include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:17, from include/linux/ethtool.h:16, from include/linux/netdevice.h:42, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:32: include/linux/skbuff.h:734:2: note: previous definition of 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2' was here PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2, /* Input: src_MAC, dest_MAC */ ^ In file included from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb.h:55:0, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:53: /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/kcompat.h:4018:2: error: redeclaration of enumerator 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3' PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3, ^ In file included from include/linux/if_ether.h:23:0, from include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:17, from include/linux/ethtool.h:16, from include/linux/netdevice.h:42, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:32: include/linux/skbuff.h:735:2: note: previous definition of 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3' was here PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3, /* Input: src_IP, dst_IP */ ^ In file included from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb.h:55:0, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:53: /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/kcompat.h:4019:2: error: redeclaration of enumerator 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4' PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4, ^ In file included from include/linux/if_ether.h:23:0, from include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:17, from include/linux/ethtool.h:16, from include/linux/netdevice.h:42, from /usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.c:32: include/linux/skbuff.h:736:2: note: previous definition of 'PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4' was here PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4, /* Input: src_IP, dst_IP, src_port, dst_port */ ^ make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src/igb_main.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/local/src/igb/igb-5.2.5/src] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-30-generic' make: *** [default] Error 2 Unfortunately the ticket linked to above does not offer any suggestions that work for me (making with "make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-Dskb_set_hash" didn't work) and an updated module was released soon enough that it wasn't a problem. Currently I am using the 5.1.2 module version which has no problems building.
