Intel 350t4 igb driver and kernel 5.4 build error

[SJ5]

I am trying to compile the latest driver (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13663?product=84805) for intel350t4v2, but I get an error:

Hi Sj5,

Good day.

Our team spent the last few days assessing what’s been going on, and we really appreciate your patience during this time. Although we’ve been working on looking for quick resolutions, we still haven’t found a fix. Due to this reason, we need to get more information to find a solution to your issue. Please provide the following information:

1. Disto and Version of the Linux OS that you are using.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Should we not hear from you, we will follow up after three business days.

Hi AlfredS_Intel.

1. Disto and Version of the Linux OS that you are using.

<<

Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 5.4.31 (kernel compiled from source, without any configuration changes), gcc 9.2 (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test). With kernel version 4.19.114, the problem does not repeat.

You can work calmly. Fix is not in a hurry.

Hi Sj5,

Thank you for patiently waiting for an update.

After spending the last few days, checking and looking for a fix for your concern, and considering the new information that you have shared, our engineering team ruled out that the kernel that you are having problems with is a very new kernel and we currently have no fix for this one yet. As a workaround, our team suggests for you to use the in-kernel driver. Our engineering division though is already aware of this and is now hard at work to fix this concern. As much as we would like to provide you a definite timeline on when you can expect a fix, we do not have any timeframes currently. We hope for your understanding on this.

Please let us know if you have any further questions about this issue. To give you ample time to come up with insights or further questions on this one, we will check back with you after 3 business days.

The driver in the kernel + suricata (ips) does not work correctly - access to services is periodically blocked. The problem is very difficult to track, or rather, the dependency, but I know for sure that kernel 4.19.115 + driver 5.3.5.42 + suricata (ips) work stably.

I think that a separate post will be needed to discuss this issue.

[AlfredoS_Intel]

Hi Sj5,

Thank you for your reply.

I will bring up your feedback with our team, and I will try to get back with you with their response no later than 3 business days from now.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation on this one.

Hi Sj5,

Thank you for your patience in waiting for an update.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for not getting back to you in time. Our team just needed the extra time to further check the recent issue that you are shared regarding the Suricata application.

Our team ruled out that the problem that you are seeing has something to do with the Suricata application and the new kernel. The ability to install our latest drivers may likely not change that.

As for the compile error: A bug report has been filed and should be fixed in a 2nd quarter driver release.
