Which version of the ixgbe driver is included in 5.6? I went through all the RHEL5 release notes, but they only ever state that the driver was updated, not which devices was added.

This device is not supported up to CentOS 5.5 (2.0.44-k2), but the latest driver from the Intel web site works fine (3.2.10).

05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 151c (rev 01)

05:00.0 0200: 8086:151c (rev 01)

Looking at the 5.6 kernel source (2.6.18-238), the file drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_type.h has the line:

#define IXGBE_DEV_ID_82599_T3_LOM 0x151C

which part of the patch:

linux-2.6-net-ixgbe-update-to-upstream-version-2-0-84-k2.patch
