# modinfo|grep ixgbe 162 7b210000 1e0b8 100 1 ixgbe (Intel 10GbE Ethernet 1.2.3)
The version should be 1.2.3 or newer. If it is not, install the latest driver patch. See OS Patches and Updates.
# grep ixgbe /etc/path_to_inst
If the EM is properly installed, you should see output similar to the following:
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3c0a@3,2/pci108e,7b14@0" 0 "ixgbe" "/pci@0,0/pci8086,3c0a@3,2/pci108e,7b14@0,1" 1 "ixgbe"
