Mailing List Archive: pf_ring rpms and init scripts

I'm setting up some new servers and hoping to be able to use
the rpms to manage my pf_ring installation. I don't seem to
see any init scripts in /etc/init.d or /usr/lib/systemd/system
for setting up the ixgbe driver properly.

Should I set up the load_drivers.sh script to run on boot somehow?

Also, I still get confused as to the proper RSS line. If I have
X cores should I be insmodding the driver with

insmod ./ixgbe.ko RSS=1,(1, X-2 times),1
insmod ./ixgbe.ko RSS=0,(0, X-2 times),0
insmod ./ixgbe.ko RSS=0,0,0,0

?

Thanks,

The number of items depends on the number of interfaces, not on the number of cores, as in the README above.
