What kernel version will 7.5 have?
-
Ahhh I see. I was trying to follow the Citrix DDK instructions but it sort of went over my head, while within the source package there was a fast README document which I tried to follow as best as I could. There was a rpm method of compiling and storing, but I believe it also required source rpm and again I'm not very well versed in the Redhat/centos way of doing things, so I cheated :).
I guess I'll see if I can figure out how udev handles naming, as well as how to make the driver work (it "installs" but I notice that XCP-ng does not see it as operational).
Thanks again for the clues! I really appreciate it!
-
Point me to sources.. I'll bake an rpm and see if it works.
-
Hii thanks again!
Within the source there is mention of an src.rpm file, but after searching I seem not to be able to find it. I will forward you the actual location for the non-rpm source: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/aquantia-staging/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Linux_2.0.10.0.zip .
It's an Aquantia AQC107 chipset. Asus, QNAP, and others use it. In fact this is how I came about having a few of these NIC cards; QNAP just came out with it and a very reasonable price, as well as a 10gbe copper switch. I've already got some ubuntu18.04lts servers running on it and it's quite stable so far (knock on wood).Thank you so much again!

@alphastarr128 I could compile the rpm from given sources.
See if it works. https://github.com/rushikeshjadhav/AQC107-XenServer
@olivierlambert Can this & such be moved to development category?
-
Moving the thread right now!

R1 thank you thank you thank you I greatly appreciate your assistance! The driver worked and now I'm noticing a noticeable performance increase. I will continue to play around with it but so far so good!
Thank you very much again!
-
Yay! good news!
We'll find a way to include this driver to be available in a repo
(pinging @stormi to think about the best solution to do so) -
Yes, we'll definitely create a RPM repository for community additions to the core XCP-ng. Ideally with an infrastructure efficient enough to allow you to post your packages to it without us being the only relay.
Like in most linux distros, in fact.Until this is ready, we can probably host a simple repository and upload the packages there ourselves.

@r1 Hi I am trying to get the AQC107 running under XenServer 7.1 which the kernel version is 4.4.0+2, but I do not have the DDK VM, can you help to create a RPM for it as well or let me know where can I get the DDK VM for 7.1? Thank you very much! Here is the source code of the driver "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/aq-media/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/20181228_Linux_ver_2.0.22.071.zip"
-
XenServer 7.1? We are not providing any support for XenServer, or maybe I missed something in your question?
-
Actually just try to have the same driver for 4.4.0+2, thank you.
-
Oh I get it now
-
I still don't get the "ask"
