Download and Install the Driver (Linux)

If your system uses the Red Hat or SUSE Linux operating system, you must download the igb device driver to install it.

1. Log in to your system.
2. In a browser, go to this location:

   http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/

3. Select I350-F2 from the list of adapters.
4. Download the driver package, and follow the instructions on how to install the driver software.

   Note - The primary driver link is a buildable source archive that works with Linux 2.6.x kernels only and requires that the currently running kernel match the SRC RPM kernel files and headers in order to build the driver. See the bundled README file in the unpacked archive from Intel for more information.

5. Load the igb(7D) driver.

   # modprobe igb

6. Verify that the igb(7D) driver has been successfully installed.

   # lsmod | grep igb

   The output should be similar to the following:

   igb          118052  0

7. Check the igb driver version.

   # modinfo igb | grep ver

   For example, in the output, the version should be similar to the following:

   version:         3.0.6-k2
