Hi Mark,

>From the error messages below it looks as if the driver isn't recognizing your 
>DA cable is a DA cable.  We get this information from the cable via the 
>Passive Cable bit as defined in the SFF-8472 spec.  What is the version of 
>your NIC's eeprom.  You can find this with:
# ethtool -I ethX

Also could you tell me the device id of the NIC just so I can be sure what 
82598 you're working with?  For the logs below you should be able to get it via:

# lspci -ns 0000:04:00.0

Also when you talk about using the 3.1.5 driver you really meant the 3.1.15 
driver correct?  I only asking to make sure we have it labeled correctly on the 
Intel web site you pulled it off of. :)

As far as checking the id we are seeing from the cable, I don't know of a 
utility that will give this value to you, short of hacking the driver to printk 
what we return from our i2c call.

Thanks,
-Don Skidmore <[email protected]>
