[E1000-devel] ethtool -U

[Frank G. <fra...@ho...>]

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to use the Hardware Filters from the ixgbe network driver but somehow I always get error messages when trying to set the filters.
I installed the ixgbe module like this:
cd ixgbe-3.9.15/src
make
mane install
modprobe ixbge FdirMode=2 FdirPballoc=2


Then I tried to set the filters by doing:
sudo ethtool -U eth2 flow-type ip4 src-ip 1.1.1.1 action -1
but I get the message:
rmgr: Cannot insert RX class rule: Operation not supported

The network adapter is an Intel 82599...

Does anyone know whats wrong/what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you,
Frank
