Sorry about that. I still have problems with getting the Intel X4DACBL3
QSFP to 4x SFP breakout cable working with the i40e. I have also upgraded
the NVM, but it did not help. Below is the modprobe output.

PS I have a 3rd party QSFP-QSFP DAC cable + Intel X4DACBL3 inserted. Might
the 3rd party DAC cable confuse the driver? I need to travel to get
physical access to the server, so I cannot easily pull the cable.

PPS I understand:
- 3rd party optics are not supported
- max of 4 mac addresses, so 4x10 is OK, 4x10 + 1x40 is not OK
Is this correct?
