We have an old server, running kernel 2.6.18-92.el5 , which can't be upgraded because it's running a special software
Trying to get 10Gb/s networking to work on it, using intel x-540T card
The card has 2 port 10Gb/s and the server has 2 built in 1Gb/s interfaces ( eth0 and eth1 )
I installed an old driver ixgbe-3.23.2.1-1.x86_64.rpm , and it's now recognized by lspci,
however it doesn't show on "ip link" and lswh says it's unclaimed and can't find a way to configure or set an IP for it
Is this a driver issue ? or am I missing the obvious ?
Any help is appreciated
below is some commands output
