Hardware and Performance / Problem installing Intel NIC drivers
« on: October 21, 2022, 07:49:42 am »Hi,
I am a total newbie in FreeBSD and my linux knowledge isn't that great either.
Issue:
I have a 25G Intel E810-XXVDA2 NIC that performs DL around 5G and Upload around 8G (speedtest directly on the OPNSense). I read in the forum that I have to update the NIC firmware and drivers have to be updated and the DDP allowed. The FW update worked fine but when I try to install/compile the driver by the divers provided how-to I get the following error:
root@OPNsense:~/ice-1.35.5 # make
make: "/root/ice-1.35.5/Makefile" line 28: Unable to locate the running kernel build directory. Kernel options may not be accurate.
make: "/usr/share/mk/bsd.sysdir.mk" line 15: Unable to locate the kernel source tree. Set SYSDIR to override.
make: stopped in /root/ice-1.35.5
Can anyone help me out?
Best regards
Dan
