Ok so for any other lonely traveler coming across this issue - here is
what I did to enable the nic to work out of the box even with older
igb Kernel drivers :
sudo su
ethtool -E eth1 magic 0x15218086 offset 0x0 value 0xa0
Somethings to note
1. the magic number is the reverse of the two groups of digits
returned in the following :
sudo lshw -numeric -C network | grep product | grep 8086
product: I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521]
product: I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521]
product: I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521]
product: I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521]
2. This only need be applied to one of the interfaces on the card
which will cause all of them to re-calculate.
Since I originally modified the igb_main.c to be able to initialize
the nic, I went back and uncommented the block :
cd igb/igb-5.2.15/src
vi igb_main.c
/* make sure the NVM is good */
if (e1000_validate_nvm_checksum(hw) < 0) {
dev_err(pci_dev_to_dev(pdev), "The NVM Checksum Is Not"
" Valid\n");
err = -EIO;
goto err_eeprom;
}
Then re-installed the driver
sudo su
modprobe -r igb
make clean
make
make install
modprobe igb
echo igb >> /etc/modules
update-initramfs -u
Confirmed everything is well
dmesg | grep igb
ifconfig -a
I rebooted the system onto the Security Onion 1204 live cd and
confirmed that the 4 nics showed up as well (when they had not
originally).
Voila!
Thank you Todd and John for your help.
