Is this being maintained? about exanic-software HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello,

This repository is being maintained by Cisco staff going forward. Active work is in progress by the Cisco staff to merge and release changes. The currently tested builds for 2.7.1 are in the release notes:

https://github.com/cisco/exanic-software/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES.txt

The Cisco team is aware that the driver does not compile for latest CentOS 8.4 kernel. Note that the driver/libraries do compile for the tested release (CentOS 8.4 (kernel 4.18.0-305).

As the monitoring of this issue list is in transition would recommend that if you need the latest RHEL/CentOS release to build/compile, have a pressing issue to report, or have questions, please also open a Cisco TAC case here:

The SmartNIC links and documentation in the github repository will be updated in a future release.

No, FDK is the hardware package.
The libs and kmod are still 2.7.1.

It doesn't even compile on RHEL 8...

Lots of links in their doc are dead, I contacted them many times, no answer.
You should avoid buying NICs that haven't got updates for years with customer service being dead silent for weeks.
