Releases: intel/ethernet-linux-ixgbe
ixgbe-4.3.9
This is the most current release of the ixgbe driver for Linux, which
supports kernel versions 2.6.18 up through 4.3.3. It also has been tested on
the following distributions:
- RHEL 6.7
- RHEL 7.2
- SLES 11SP4
- SLES 12PS1
Changes in this release:
- Support for new X550 NICsand LOMs
- Fix for flow director perfect filters
- Various bug fixes
- Older kernel kcompat fixes
Note that while we attempt to keep the driver version number (4.3.9) in sync
with its counterpart in the Linux kernel that has similar functionality this
is far from authoritative. If you are using a newer kernel.org kernel or
distro it is likely that its ixgbe driver is at least as up to date as the out
of tree (OOT) driver found here.
ixgbe-4.2.5

has been added to this driver:

Note that while we attempt to keep the driver version number (4.2.3) in sync
with its counterpart in the Linux kernel that has similar functionality this
is far from authoritative. If you are using a newer kernel.org kernel or
