This is the patch that allows you to avoid the supported check. commit 8ef78adcb03b1fcb53c3bd62df4e96c1d2706c58 Author: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <[email protected]> Date: Wed Feb 1 09:19:21 2012 +0000 ixgbe: Add module parameter to allow untested and unsafe SFP+ modules The X520 family of network devices, with the 82599 chip, support a small number of Intel-verified SFP+ modules on their NICs. To maintain stability and quality, the current devices restrict untested 3rd party SFP+ modules. This patch introduces a module parameter for ixgbe to allow these untested modules at the user's peril. It also includes a warning to the syslog alerting users that the modules aren't supported, and results may vary.
