open-nic-driver on Centos?

[JunPhilips]

Hi,

I am a newbie for open-nic, apologise if this question has been asked/answered repetitively. I tried to build open-nic-driver on a couple of servers with Centos, all failed (please see the attached below), but fine with the one with Ubuntu. I wonder if this driver works for a Centos server?

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi @JunPhilips,

I've only used this driver with Ubuntu. In January 2022, @kenter committed an edit related to RHEL8.

Thanks very much @cneely-amd. figured out why i failed. I was trying to build the driver on Centos 7.8, where ndo_change_mtu is renamed as ndo_change_mtu_rh74 in netdevice.h. So the fix is to change ndo_change_mtu in onic_main.c to ndo_change_mtu_rh74.
