In a browser, go to:

3.
Select Downloads and Drivers.
4.
Select Linux as the OS.
5.
Select this driver:

6.
Select Download.
The download begins. The file named i40e-x.x.xx.tar.gz is saved in the ~/Desktop directory
of your server.
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. Refer to the bundled README file in the unpacked archive
from Intel for more information.
For this example, assume that the file is named i40e-1.2.3.4.tar.gz. The actual file might
have different version or subversion numbers.
