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 10 Gigabit NIC products) or modprobe ngbe (for Gigabit NIC products).

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

WX1820 Series

This series is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet network controller chip, including the following chip products and hardware products:
