2

Supported

Can you explain how to have it working with latest openwrt version?
I do not succeed to have "Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GBASE-T (rev 02)" working with 19.07.7 .

kmod-iavf and kmod-i40e seem unavailliable in the repositories , at least for x86_64

On Snapshot I could install kmod-iavf and kmod-i40
but I get

[    8.627154] i40e: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection XL710 Network Driver - version 2.8.20-k

This bug seems specific to kernel 5.4, but not sure if there is any workaround out there:

So Still not working, any idea?
