Instructions

Download and Install the Linux 10GbE driver.

RHEL/Fedora:

sudo rpm -Uvh kmod-myri10ge-1.5.3.p5-0.x86_64.rpm

or

   $ gunzip -c myri10ge-linux.1.5.3.p5.tgz | tar xvf -
   $ cd myri10ge-linux.1.5.3.p5/linux
   $ make clean
   $ make
   $ su root
   # make install-only

To load the Myricom 10GbE driver, type the command

  # modprobe myri10ge

A new ethernet interface, having a MAC address beginning with 00:60:DD, should now appear in the output of ifconfig -a. For example:

   # ifconfig -a | grep 00:60:DD
   eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:60:DD:47:E5:31

You should also see a message on the console, similar to the following, which indicates that the driver has loaded successfully.

   myri10ge: eth1: MSI IRQ 233, tx boundary 4096, firmware eth_z8e.dat, WC Enabled

By default, the Linux Myri10GE driver configures the Myri-10G adapter with a 1500-byte MTU
