Host interface driver for ASpeed BMC

Rocky Linux General
1

I recently updated my Rocky Linux 9.2 running on my Supermicro X12DDW-A6 (Intel IceLake CPU). The older kernel has the rndis_host.ko.xz driver. But once I upgraded to kernel 5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.x86_64, all the usb drivers were taken out. Is there a reason why all those usb drives no longer there? How can I re-install the usb drivers especially the rndis related drivers for BMC communication?

Appreciate the feedbacks from community.

Something is amiss on your system. I see:

@toracat Yes, all the USB drivers are not in the kernel after I did the dnf upgrade. Not sure if it is intended or not. I will try doing the upgrade again.

Make sure you have kernel-modules installed.

After another latest upgrade, it fixed the issue. Thanks!
