working on : ubuntu 20.4 (hosted by esxi)
I would like to assign a driver to a specific interface :
ifconfig show two interface name
ens160:
ens192:
160 is classic ETH and 192 is an HBA connector 25 Gb.
I show you more informations with the fcoe command :
#fcoeadm -i ens192
Description:      VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller
Revision:         01
Manufacturer:     VMware
Serial Number:    005056AAA998
Driver:           vmxnet3 1.5.0.0-k
Number of Ports:  1
    Symbolic Name:     fcoe v0.1 over ens192
    OS Device Name:    host33
    Node Name:         0x1000005056aaa998
    Port Name:         0x2000005056aaa998
    Fabric Name:        0x0
    Speed:             10 Gbit
    Supported Speed:   1 Gbit, 10 Gbit
    MaxFrameSize:      1452 bytes
    FC-ID (Port ID):   0xffffffff
    State:             Offline
The hba connector is :
Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5]
Let's see :
#lshw -C network  |grep conf
   configuration : autonegotiation=off broadcast=yes driver=vmxnet3 driverversion=1.5.0.0-k-NAPI duplex=full ip=10.18.100.7 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=10Gbit/s
   configuration : autonegotiation=off broadcast=yes driver=vmxnet3 driverversion=1.5.0.0-k-NAPI duplex=full ip=172.16.44.7 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=10Gbit/s
I already loaded the module mlx5_core and also restarted the network interface.
#:/lib/modules/5.8.0-55-generic# lsmod |grep -e 'mlx|vmx'
mlx5_core            1044480  0
tls                    90112  1 mlx5_core
mlxfw                  32768  1 mlx5_core
pci_hyperv_intf        16384  1 mlx5_core
vmxnet3                61440  0
But that i want to do is to specifically assign the mlx5 module to the ens192 network interface.
Can someone gime the tips pls?
