Hello Don,

Just quickly yes you are correct that I meant 3.1.15 of the driver so no 
problems there :)

Here is the additional output you requested:
# lspci -ns 0000:04:00.0
04:00.0 0200: 8086:10f1 (rev 01)

However I don't appear to have any defined eth devices for these 
interfaces, so nothing for ethtool to probe beyond the on-board intel  
Intel(R) PRO/1000 devices. I tried with the 3.1.15 driver and the result 
was the same:

[  830.287140] Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver - version 
3.1.15-NAPI

[  830.434061] Reload the driver after installing a supported module.
[  830.450654] ixgbe 0000:04:00.1: PCI INT B disabled

Should I be assuming there would be downed ethX devices ?

Much appreciate the assistance by the way.
