I checked the version numbers and you're correct. It's hard to decide which to use, but you're going to have to look to see when the kernel was released and when the driver was released and make a decision based on that. Or wait for Tuesday, when the driver guys are back in the office.

I am working with Debian folks to create official Debian images for the Amazon Cloud. Amazon recommends to use an ixgbevf driver with version > 2.14.1, and to compile this as an out of tree module. ( http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/enhanced-networking.html ) I see the latest in tree kernel driver still has the string 2.12.1 whereas the out of tree driver is 2.16.1 Is the in tree kernel driver lagging, or is it simply that its version string has not been updated ? Thank you Emmanuel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired
