Hi, I have a system with two Intel Series 800 Network Cards: 3b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1592 (rev 02) d8:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1592 (rev 02)
In our use case we boot a kernel with all required modules build in and start a small userland which is responsible to detect the hardware details and the connections to the attached switches via LLDP. The Kernel config can be seen here: https://github.com/metal-stack/kernel/blob/master/config-mainline-x86_64 The system is set to UEFI boot, the ice driver reports the following: [ 32.210982] ice: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection E800 Series Linux Driver [ 32.217514] ice: Copyright (c) 2018, Intel Corporation.

Is there any way to tell the ice driver by commandline to behave the same in built-in mode as well. Really appreciate any pointer Greetings Stefan Majer -- Stefan Majer _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel Ethernet, visit https://forums.intel.com/s/topic/0TO0P00000018NbWAI/intel-ethernet
