Introduction

I bought a new model of server and When installing CentOS 6 I didn't recognize one NIC probably because the OS is old.

I have to download the NIC driver from Intel or something, It took a little time, so Keep a record.

As a flow, Install the same kernel-devel as the OS build, Install the module for driver installation, Get the information of the NIC installed in the server, Download and install the driver from Intel.

procedure

Install kernel-devel

Check the OS build and put it in a variable

# KERNEL_VERSION=`uname -r`
# KERNEL_DEVEL_EXPECTED_VERSION=kernel-devel-${KERNEL_VERSION}
# echo ${KERNEL_DEVEL_EXPECTED_VERSION}

# cd /usr/local/src

Find the kernel-devel of the OS build from the following site and copy the URL of the rpm file http://rpm.pbone.net/

# wget "Copyed URL"
# ls ${KERNEL_DEVEL_EXPECTED_VERSION}.rpm

# rpm -ivh ${KERNEL_DEVEL_EXPECTED_VERSION}.rpm

##Check what you have installed
# rpm -qa | grep kernel-devel
# ls -l /usr/src/kernels/

##Make sure the link goes through
# ls -l /lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/build/

Preparation of installation module

# yum -y install "Development Tools"
# yum -y install man

Check that the device is in order with the following command

# lspci | grep Ethernet
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (6) I219-V (rev 30)
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)

Obtain the device information acquisition tool from the following site https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ja/download/17289

# chmod 777 netdriverinfo.sh
# ./netdriverinfo.sh
eth1 : 00:1f.6
    Make/Model = Intel Corporation Device 0000
    Ethernet controller = Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection
    VenID:DevID = 8086:15be
    Driver name = e1000e
    Driver version = 3.5.1-NAPI
eth0 : 01:00.0
    Make/Model = Holco Enterprise Co, Ltd/Shuttle Computer Device 4076
    Ethernet controller = Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection
    VenID:DevID = 8086:1539
    Driver name = igb
    Driver version = 5.3.5.39

If you google the "Driver name" and "Driver version" of the NIC that you do not currently recognize, The download page will appear immediately, so copy it to the server

Driver installation

Unzip the driver downloaded from the manufacturer and install

//Unzip the file(Example)
# tar zvxf e1000e-3.5.1.tar.gz

//After unzipping, move to the src directory in the directory and install
# make install

//Make sure the NIC driver is installed
# ifconfig -a

After the NIC is recognized, restart the server and You can do whatever you want from the NIC config file
