Trouble building Intel IGB for SuperMcro 5018A-TN4 on Red Hat 6.4

[sungila]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the quad ethernet on my SuperMicro 5018A-TN4 (Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 5018A-TN4) to work. Drivers are from Intel® Server Adapters — Linux igb* Base Driver overview and installation.

Kernel and headers etc installed are 2.6.32-424.el6.x86_64 (rhel 6.4 latest)

When i do a "make install" it throws this:

[root@localhost src]# make install
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-424.el6.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/root/igb-5.0.6/src modules

Is the kernel version an issue? I'm in over my head on this one so any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

My bad, looks like RHEL supports this OOTB (eth0 is my pci adapter) ...

The installer didn't find the nics tho. Is that normal?
