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.
