Wangxun/NetSwift Ethernet

Linux 6.1 and Above

TIP

Starting from Linux 6.1, the NIC products from Wangxun have been integrated into the Linux kernel mainline, and there is no longer a need to install the driver source code separately.

If the hardware is not recognized, simply execute modprobe txgbe (for 25 GbE and 10 GbE NIC products) or modprobe ngbe (for 1 GbE NIC products).

If the kernel version of your current distribution is below 6.1, please continue reading the following content:
