I installed FreeNAS 11.3 ISO to my FreeNAS server, then when I try to install mellanox driver on it, it fails.

The driver I used is of version 3.0.0 and connect 4x, the source code I used is freebsd 11.3 source code

Here are the errors
1) I can't find the /usr/src/sys/modules/linuxapi folder, according the user manual, I need to install linuxapi kernel module before installing driver
2) I can't exec "bmake -m $HEAD/share/mk SYSDIR=$HEAD/sys clean cleandepend" , it tells "command not found: bmake"

how to solve the problem and install the driver??

Welcome to the forums!

I can't help you directly, but have you tried searching here - there are lots of postings suggesting successful mellanox implementations.

Good luck!

Why install a driver? You don't install drivers on freenas. It should just work.
