Actually I'm more interested in fixing the iproute2 functionality to disable anti spoofing completely Any news on that? https://communities.intel.com/message/192668#192668 - here Patric says Intel is working on this. Also instead of requiring a specific iproute2 and kernel version from the users, wouldn't it be better and easier for everybody to add a module parameter to enable/disable anti spoofing filter?
By default Debian 7 comes with:
zzz@xxx:/home/zzz# modinfo igb
filename: /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.ko
version: 5.0.5-k
So I tried that, also without luck with 802.3ad bonding mode. Didn't try any other version, just grabbed the newest one available at the link you provided.
I'm a bit disappointed because this NIC is quite expensive and doesn't support 802.3ad currently even when not using SR-IOV at all. And looks like it's a known problem (Latest Flexible Port Partitioning Paper is now available. Learn about QoS and SR-IOV!).
PS. of course I'll gladly recompile the driver if you can point me how to disable the anti spoofing feature in it.
