I'm installed ubuntu16.04 desktop on this server. But network doesn't work, a "cable unplugged" always show in network setting.
I'm wondering is it a driver issue so I downloaded a driver from here: Download Intel® Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack .
And then I installed "PROXGB\LINUX\ixgbe-5.3.5.tar\ixgbe-5.3.5" from it since I thought s2600wft uses x557-at2 Ethernet module
from this guide: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/server-products/server-boards/S2600WF_TPS.pdf .
After that, the network status is shown as connected. But I still can't successfully ping addresses in the same subnet. And the very
strange thing is that I can see local ip in "ifconfig" when the cable is unplugged. Also, during every steps in my try, the rj45 light
doesn't blink. Had somebody encountered these problems for s2600wft?intel_adminCommunityAdminitpnadmin@
