Ethernet controller: Xyratex Napatech XL2/XA

Post by scottjr155 » 2017/07/14 12:49:49

I have an older dell system that was used for packet captures. I installed CentOS7 on the box, but can not find a driver for the Napatech cards. Here is the output from the lspci command:

0e:04.0 Ethernet controller: Xyratex Napatech XL2/XA

I can't go to the vendor for support, other than checking the download sections of the site, because we do not have support with them. I would appreciate it if anyone knows where I can get the driver for this card.

I suspect I am out of luck and will need to replace the cards.

Use lspci -nn so we can see the PCI vendor and device ids.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Found mention of Xyratex in /usr/share/hwdata/pci/ids and nothing mentions 122e in /lib/modules/3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64/modules.*
