Overview

The ix driver provides support for PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82598EB, 82599EB, X540, X550, and E610 Ethernet controller chips, including the following:

• Intel 82598AF 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseSR)

• Intel 82598AF Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseSR)

• Intel 82598EB 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseCX4)

• Intel 82598EB 10GbE Adapter (SFP+)

• Intel 82598EB Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseCX4)

• Intel 82598EB XF 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseLR)

• Intel 82598AT 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT)

• Intel 82598AT Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT)

• Intel 82599EB 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseCX4)

• Intel X520-DA2 Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (SFP+)

• Intel X520-SR1 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseSR)

• Intel X520-SR2 Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseSR)

• Intel X520-LR1 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseLR)

• Intel X520-QDA1 10GbE Adapter (QSFP)

• Intel X540-T 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT/1000baseT/100baseTX)

• Intel X550-T 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT/1000baseT/100baseTX)

• Intel X552 10GbE Adapter (SFP+)

• Intel Xeon-D X552/X557 embedded 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseT)
