Hey everybody,
I installed the PF_RING with DNA on my Ubuntu machine here the details for that:
Linux 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
and the module ixgbe:
modinfo ixgbe
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-38-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko
version: 3.6.7-DNA
license: GPL
description: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver
Now I want to use the hardware filter also but I'm kinda unable to get it to work...
I inserted the module with:
insmod ixgbe.ko FdirMode=2,2,2,2 FdirPballoc=3,3,3,3
and the filter mode should be enabled now which I can see in this output:
dmesg
[ 10.584225] ixgbe: 0000:01:00.1: ixgbe_check_options: FCoE Offload feature enabled
[ 1518.744239] ixgbe: 0000:01:00.1: ixgbe_check_options: Flow Director perfect filtering enabled
[ 1518.744244] ixgbe: 0000:01:00.1: ixgbe_check_options: Flow Director will be allocated 256kB of packet buffer
[ 1518.744246] ixgbe: 0000:01:00.1: ixgbe_check_options: FCoE Offload feature enabled
The command
ethtool ethX -K ntuple on
works also fine, but when I try to get a look at the current filters with:
ethtool -u ethX
I get:
Cannot get driver strings info: Operation not supported
Has anybody an idea what I'm doing wrong?
