Download and Install the i40evf Driver (Linux)
6.
Select Download.
The download begins. The file named i40evf-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. See the bundled README file in the unpacked archive from Intel for
more information.
For this example, assume that the file is named i40evf-1.2.3.4.tar.gz. The actual file might
have different version or subversion numbers.
