I cannot get this to work for love or money. Patching ixgbe against the CentOS source fails, and if I use virgin source from kernel.org I can get the ixgbe.ko and netmap.ko modules to compile but they will not load (incorrect module version error).

Unfortunately, the patch we distribute with netmap does not apply to your kernel sources since, as morphyno explained, Redhat kernel sources are significantly different from the Torvarld's sources with the same major.minor version number.\r\n\r\nAlso, using the sources from Torvalds while running the kernel from CentOS will not work. As you have already found out, the modules will not load.\r\n\r\nWe are trying to find a better way to handle these situations, but this will take some time. In the meantime I suggest you go with any of the options provided by morphyno, (4) being probably the easiest."}}
