Hi,

I have issue with this card, and need driver.

Try to make from source code, but getting this error:

root@Tower:/mnt/disk1/files/ixgbe-5.6.5/src# make install
common.mk:84: *** Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations.
common.mk:85: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
common.mk:86: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again.  Stop.

How that can be solved?

Br, Niko H.

Unraid is a stripped down, customized version of slackware linux, and doesn't contain everything required to build drivers or packages. And installing drivers yourself even if you had one already built has problems of its own, since the OS is unpacked fresh from the archives on flash into RAM at each boot, and the OS runs completely in RAM (think of it as firmware). So no changes you make to the OS survive a reboot.

 

Are you sure that NIC isn't already supported? Intel NICs are typically on the recommended list.
