Issue
ATLS1QGE Driver
Hello everyone,
I'm new to ClearOS, as I just decided to try to setup a router with it yesterday.
I was running Lubuntu 16.10 on a machine a couple of days ago with an ATLS1QGE quad port gigabit NIC, and it was recognizing the card just fine. Now, however, I can still see the card under ClearOS fine with
Is there anyway to get the "niu" kernel driver installed on ClearOS?
Thanks,
Nixpower
I'm new to ClearOS, as I just decided to try to setup a router with it yesterday.

lspci
, but not with ifconfig
or anything along those lines. lspci -k
on Lubuntu lets me know that it is using the "niu" kernel driver for the card, but I can't seem to be able to find a way to have this driver installed on ClearOS.Is there anyway to get the "niu" kernel driver installed on ClearOS?
Thanks,

I don't think you have an ATLS1QGE. 108e:abcd seems to use either the niu driver or the ixge driver depending on where I google. I'm not at my system at the moment to will need to see what comes with ClearOS when I get home. The niu driver was removed in EL7 (so ClearOS7) and I can't find any info on the ixge. -

I've been corresponding with the guys over at ElRepo and it looks like it needs the niu driver which was removed from the kernel as I mentioned before, but no matter. They have prepared the source file, but it has not yet sync'd to their mirrors so we'll have to wait until tomorrow p.m. when I can compile it for ClearOS. -
Accepted Answer
I've just been pointed to a sync'd mirror, so please install it with a:wget https://www.howitts.co.uk/clearos/ClearOS_7.x/7.4/kmod-niu-1.1-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck niu*.rpm
Please can you provide feedback. If it is good, the guys at ElRepo will promote it to their released repo and I can give you some important follow-on information. -

That was completely my fault! I've tld you to download one file and install another. As you found, the correct command should have been:
Thanks for feeding back. I'll post back to the ElRepo people.yum localinstall --nogpgcheck kmod-niu*.rpm
Now the important other information. ClearOS is planning a kernel change. See this thread and, perhaps, watch it as it will affect you. When the change happens all my kmod drivers will stop working, but then you can use the ones directly from the ElRepo download site. As a strategy, when the new kernel gets implemented, I suggest that you download the Elrepo driver just beforehand so you are ready to install it at the same time as the kernel.
