I upgrade the kernel on my RHEL boxes today, and when I attempted to recompile
the ixgbe drivers I was met with the following error:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64/build

I see Ubuntu users had a similar problem back in August with the OS back
porting stuff into the kernel that wasn't officially there. Is there a similar
patch for RHEL yet?
Thanks!
