Hi Charles, The IXGBE_DEVICE_CAPS_ALLOW_ANY_SFP isn't a parameter but a bit the driver looks at in the eeprom to see if any SFP support is enabled. It looks like for your case it isn't which is why you are getting the "SFP+ module not supported" message. Intel only validates against a known set of modules and is why not all are supported. Thanks, Don Skidmore <[email protected]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired
