Having some issues with a network card and Oracle Linux

2754382Sep 18 2014 — edited Sep 19 2014

Hi,

I have 2 Dell R720 servers running Oracle Linux 6.5. In them are a QLogic Corp. cLOM8214 1/10GbE Controller 8200 series card (slot 5) and an Intel X520 DP 10Gb DA/SFP+ card (slot 4). The QLogic is working fine:


[root@server ~]# lspci | grep -i net

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe

01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe

02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: QLogic Corp. cLOM8214 1/10GbE Controller (rev 58)

04:00.1 Ethernet controller: QLogic Corp. cLOM8214 1/10GbE Controller (rev 58)

04:00.6 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. 8200 Series 10GbE Converged Network Adapter (FCoE) (rev 58)

04:00.7 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. 8200 Series 10GbE Converged Network Adapter (FCoE) (rev 58)


The Intel card however, isn't. I've installed the ixgbe-3.22.3 driver from the Intel website but still get nothing. It also doesn't appear in the BIOS unlike the QLogic card. 

[root@server ~]# modprobe -l | grep ixg

kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko

kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf.ko

kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgb/ixgb.ko

The first module should be the one that works with this Intel card, but doesn't. What am I missing here? My Linux skills are still in the beginner stage so I'm a bit stuck at the moment. Anyone able to help?
