Installing on Ubuntu - UG1586

A method that can be used on Ubuntu is as follows:

1. Create a .deb package from the RPM:

   $ sudo alien -c onload-dkms-<version>.noarch.rpm

   You must use the -c option otherwise the driver binary will not be built.

2. Make sure the .deb package is created:

   $ ls
   onload-dkms_<version>_all.deb    onload-dkms-<version>.noarch.rpm

3. Install the .deb package (this takes a few minutes):

   $ sudo dpkg -i onload-dkms_<version>_all.deb

   This produces a lot of output while it builds the following components:

   sfc, sfc_affinity.ko, sfc_char.ko, sfc_resource.ko, and onload.ko.

$ sudo alien --scripts -i onload-dkms-<version>.noarch.rpm
