# ice-kmod: Intel ice 1.9.11 for Storm kernel 5.4.206-202

For E810 parents (`8086:159b` E810-XXV, `8086:1593` E810-C) that run Intel's `ice-1.9.11-1` RPM.
That RPM only carries the driver for `5.4.206-200`; on `-202` the host falls back to the in-tree
ice 0.8.1-k, which has no driver for E810-XXV and is a large downgrade for E810-C.

This directory is deliberately **not a yum repo**: nothing installs this package unless it is
requested by URL.

## Prerequisites

- `rpm -q ice` shows `ice-1.9.11-1` (provides the E810 DDP firmware)
- `rpm -q kernel-core-5.4.206-202.el7` is installed

## Install (before rebooting into -202, or on a host already on -202)

```
yum install http://updates.interworx.com/_internal/ice-kmod/ice-kmod-5.4.206-202-1.9.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
modinfo -k 5.4.206-202.el7.x86_64 -F version ice      # expect 1.9.11
reboot
```

Reboot rather than reloading `ice` on a live host: unloading it drops the host's network.

## Verify after boot

```
uname -r                       # 5.4.206-202.el7.x86_64
cat /sys/module/ice/version    # 1.9.11
cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0    # all slaves up
```

## Rollback

Boot `5.4.206-200` (its own Intel driver is untouched), or `yum remove ice-kmod-5.4.206-202`.
