Installing Linux Drivers Using the TAR File
To install Linux drivers using the TAR file:
1. Create a directory and extract the TAR files to the directory:
tar xjvf fastlinq-minor-<version>.tar.bz2
2. Change to the recently created directory, and then install the drivers:
cd fastlinq-minor-<version>
make clean; make install
The qed and qede drivers will be installed in the following paths.
For SLES:
/lib/modules/<version>/updates/qlgc-fastlinq
For RHEL and CentOS:
/lib/modules/<version>/extra/qlgc-fastlinq
3. Test the drivers by loading them (unload the existing drivers first, if
necessary):
rmmod qede
rmmod qed
modprobe qed
modprobe qede
