Hi all. I checked the list archive and there's a thread about a year ago regarding the AWS recommendations for enhanced networking ( http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/sriov-networking.html#enhanced-networking-ubuntu) I'm still confused as to whether the ixgbevf driver in the ubuntu distro has at least the same feature set / bug fixes as the 2.16.4 version that the docs recommend. Any help appreciated and if I need to take this to some ubuntu list, let me know.
My head tells me 2.11.3-k != 2.16.4, but then again maybe they still have the same features/bugfixes and the version number was not updated, because that's the way Canonical does things. I'd like to know before I install the out-of-tree ixgbevf driver and waste my time, break something, or fix something that isn't broken. I launched an instance of Ubuntu 14.04, using ami-2d39803a, then ran ```apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade``` Following that, I see: ubuntu@ip-10-0-60-159:~$ ethtool -i eth0 driver: ixgbevf version: 2.11.3-k firmware-version: bus-info: 0000:00:03.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no ubuntu@ip-10-0-60-159:~$ modinfo ixgbevf filename: /lib/modules/3.13.0-96-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf.ko version: 2.11.3-k license: GPL description: Intel(R) 82599 Virtual Function Driver author: Intel Corporation, <linux.n...@intel.com> srcversion: AE2D8A25951B508611E943D alias: pci:v00008086d00001515sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00008086d000010EDsv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: intree: Y vermagic: 3.13.0-96-generic SMP mod_unload modversions signer: Magrathea: Glacier signing key sig_key: 5C:E9:1A:5F:5A:60:3A:31:2B:28:B6:E0:22:CB:56:18:E5:DC:44:ED sig_hashalgo: sha512 parm: debug:Debug level (0=none,...,16=all) (int) [image: Clutch Holdings, LLC] <http://www.clutch.com> Mike James | Manager of Infrastructure 267.419.6400, ext 204 | mike.ja...@clutch.com 201 S Maple St. | Suite 250 | Ambler, PA 19002 Clutch.com <http://www.clutch.com> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/clutchsuccess> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/2837209> | YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/user/clutchsuccess> | Clutch Support Center <http://clientsupport.clutch.com/> The only end to end consumer management platform that empowers consumer-focused businesses to identify, target, message, and engage their best customers.
