Hello sir,
I do not understand either but that's what's happening. It's a
fiber adapter so maybe the driver says it's supported and when trying to
request values from the nic itself it fails because it's no longer
supported... but that's only a though .
Thank you very much,
David Hill

Hello sir,
We have a customer hitting an issue where ixgbe will not return an error
at "SIOCGMIIPHY" but will hit it later at "SIOCGMIIREG" so instead of
failling at miimon and never doing the failover, we'd like it to use ethtool
which is properly returning the link state.
Hm, I don't understand why ixgbe would support getting the address of
the MII PHY in use, but not to fetch the IMM_BMSR "basic mode status register"
from it. Is this supposed to happen? Have you tried discussing this
with the upstream driver developers?
