3.9.15 is a three year old driver, it would be safer to just use our out-of-tree driver (latest is 3.23.2.1) on e1000.sourceforge.net, since we have a kcompat layer already setup to handle running the latest driver on older kernels. If you are looking to backport features or functionality into a much older driver, you would be getting yourself into a driver we could not support AND your may not have the resources to validate all the possible issues that may arise from backporting a subset of features or functionality. > > On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 11:37 PM, Tantilov, Emil S > <emil.s.tanti...@intel.com> wrote: > > You can use ethtool -L option: > > > > ethtool -L ethX combined N > > > > Thanks, > > Emil > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Tal Abudi [mailto:talab...@gmail.com] > > Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 2:10 PM > > To: e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: [E1000-devel] Changing RSS on run time > > > > Hi > > Is there a way to change the number of rx queues for ixgbe drivers > > (3.9.15) without reloading the driver ? > > I wish to avoid loss of connectivity for all driver interfaces. > > > > If there are no built-in options to do that, any ideas on how to write > > it myself ?
