Hi,
I’d like to install a driver for the 10Gig-E network adapter from Asus “XG-C100C”. The adapter does not appear in my hardware configuration.
I downloaded the driver-pakage from Asus here.
Maybe it’s enough if you point out which of the suggested installation-methods in the readme-file I should follow.
Thank you very much for helping!

Linux* aQuantia AQtion Driver for the aQuantia Multi-Gigabit PCI Express Family
of Ethernet AdaptersContents

IMPORTANT NOTE
WARNING:
AQtion driver is built with the LRO (Large Receive Offload) feature enabled
by default.
This option offers the lowest CPU utilization for receives, but it is completely
incompatible with routing/ip forwarding and bridging.
If you need ip forwarding or bridging, please make sure to disable LRO using the
compile time options described in the LRO section below.
NB! If LRO is enabled, attempts to use ip forwarding or bridging can result in
low throughput or even a kernel panic.In This Release
This file describes the aQuantia AQtion Driver for the aQuantia Multi-Gigabit
PCI Express Family of Ethernet Adapters.
This driver supports Linux kernels >= 3.10, and includes support for x86_64 and
ARM Linux system.This release contains a source tarball and (optionally) a src.rpm package.
Identifying Your Adapter
The driver in this release is compatible with ethernet adapters based on:
- AQC-100,
- AQC-107,
- AQC-108,
- AQC-109,
- AQC-111,
- AQC-112,
- AQC-113.
SFP+ Devices (for AQC-100 based adapters)
This release was verified to work with passive Direct Attach Cables (DAC) and
SFP+/LC Optical Transceiver.Building and Installation
To manually build this driver:
- Make sure you have all the packages required to build a standalone kernel
module.
On a debian-based systems you should at least install the following packages:sudo apt install linux-headers build-essential
- Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice.
For example, use /home/username/aquantia.
Untar/unzip archive:cd ~/aquantia
tar zxf Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z.tar.gz
- Change to the driver src directory:
cd Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z/
NB! Make sure that pathname doesn’t contain whitespaces and special characters
(e.g. brackets), because kernel build system doesn’t support such paths
unfortunately and the build will fail.
Compile the driver module:
makeUnload the driver, if an older version is in use:
sudo rmmod atlanticLoad the dependencies and the module itself:
sudo make loadInstall the driver
sudo make installdriver will be installed into the following location:
/lib/modules/
uname -r/aquantia/atlantic.koNB! You might need to update initramfs image uponon install
(e.g. if atlantic.ko is a part of it, otherwise an old version will be
loaded from initramfs image on next reboot).
This is a potentially harmful operation, so ‘make install’ will check
if such an update is needed and will ask for your consent before actually
running update-initramfs / dracut.
Please make sure you understand the risks before choosing ‘Y’!Alternatively build and install the driver with dkms
- Make sure you have all the packages required to build a standalone kernel
module.
On Debian-based systems the following command can be used:sudo apt-get install linux-headers-
uname -rbuild-essential gawk dkmsOn redhat-based systems the following command can be used:
sudo yum install kernel-devel-
uname -rgcc gcc-c++ make gawk dkms
- Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice.
For example, use /home/username/aquantia.
Untar/unzip archive:cd ~/aquantia
tar zxf Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z.tar.gz
- Change to the driver source directory:
cd Aquantia-AQtion-x.y.z/
- Build and install the driver:
sudo ./dkms.sh install
driver will be installed into the following location:
/lib/modules/
uname -r/updates/dkms/atlantic.koInstall the driver on Debian\Ubuntu using atlantic-x.y.z.deb
Make sure you have all the packages required to build a standalone kernel
module.
Execute the command:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-uname -rMove the atlantic-x.y.z.deb file to the directory of your choice.
For example, use /home/username/aquantia.Execute the following commands:
cd /home/username/aquantia
sudo apt-get install ./atlantic-x.y.z.debYou can use “dpkg -l | grep -i atlantic” to verify that the driver has been
installed.Alternatively you can use atlantic-x.y.z.noarch.rpm
Make sure you have all the packages required to build a standalone kernel
module.
Execute the command:
sudo yum install kernel-devel-uname -rMove the atlantic-x.y.z.noarch.rpm file to the directory of your choice.
For example, use /home/username/aquantia.Execute the following commands:
cd /home/username/aquantia
sudo yum install ./atlantic-x.y.z.noarch.rpmYou can use “rpm -qa | grep -i atlantic” to verify that the driver has been
installed.Check that the driver is working
[…]
Troubleshooting
Some distributions don’t provide kernel sources ready for 3rdparty module build.
In general, the following could be used to prepare kernel source tree for build:sudo su
cd /lib/modules/uname -r/build
make oldconfig
make prepare
make modules_prepare
