Issues compiling the ixgbe driver

[ma.perrone]

Good morning, I have updated the kernel to version Linux 5.15.126-1-pve, and I had the ixgbe drivers compiled and installed with DKMS at version 5.18.13. When I try to recompile the drivers, both with DKMS and manually, I encounter the following error:

Could someone help me? Please.

I am also experiencing the "Error 2" issue you're describing here. I recently upgraded a node to PVE 7.4-17 and am on kernel 5.15.126-1-pve. I followed the steps I previously used to download and update my ixgbe drivers based on this Proxmox forum post: PVE 6.0-7 + ixgbe firmware errors. Post #9 outlines the steps I followed

I've tried this with both driver versions 5.15.2 and the latest (as of today) 5.19.6, downloaded from Intel:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ethernet-network-connections-under-linux.html

In both cases, when I cd into the driver src directory and invoke make install, I get the same error described above.

Is this an issue that can be resolved on the Proxmox end?

Try kernel 5.15.123 or lower

Hi all,
Intel released a new version of the driver (5.19.9) resolving the compiling issue.
Instead of, the kernel messages are flooding my environment with these:

Jan 04 09:21:59 rvt-pve-host02 kernel: ixgbe 0000:3b:00.0: Warning firmware error detected FWSM: 0x00000000

These messages were the reason why it was necessary to compile the drivers.
Has anyone had the same experience?

I'm having the same experience, and am looking everywhere for the answer to resolve this as well.
