The -k drivers are in-kernel. You just get them with the kernel. The out-of-tree drivers on sourceforge should compile just fine on CentOS 6.5, but we only support the latest one (5.2.18) and we only really support it on RHEL. CentOS should be the same as RHEL but you get what you paid for.
There were recent ptp changes, and there will be more soon as the upstream Linux kernel changed gettime/settime to gettime64/settime64.

If I check later drivers it has some fixes for the chipset I'm using (I210), I started doing this since I have some issues with IEE1588 timestamping. It seems to be a bit hard to get a newer version compiled on CentOS 6.5, but I am worried about the fixes as such I would like to change to a newer version. I would prefer to stick with a *-k version since these seem to be more appropriate for a CentOS release, is this assumption correct? Newer *-k version don't seem to compile because of changed kernel header files (for example struct pci_driver -> sriov_configure) The 5.2.15 intel version compiles on CentOS6.5 but has a complete different set of defines due to which IEEE1588 timestamping does not seems to work by default. What would be your advice to do, either use the intel version (e.g. 5.2.15) and try to compile this on CentOS 6.5 with correct defines, or backport the IEEE1588 / PLL changes between intel version 5.0.5 and 5.2.13 to the 5.0.5-k version? Thanks in advance for any advice, I am quite new in this field.
