Thanks for the reply Carolyn.
I'm still struggling. I looked at the 5.0.5 driver's igb_set_fw_version
but I'm getting lost at where we're getting the fw_version from:
snprintf(adapter->fw_version, sizeof(adapter->fw_version),
(first time I'm navigating this code)
I tried with CentOS 6.5 and 5.0.5-k driver but ethtool still reports the
1.2.1 firmware-version.
Yet, when I look with ethtool -e at offset 0x64 it prints 1.3.32.
Am I looking at the wrong offset ?
