Linux upstream i40e DOES provide infrastructure to flash cards. There's something wrong. That's why I want you to post EXACT steps and EXACT error messages. You shouldn't have to edit the standalone driver to get nvmupdate to work. Maybe you have an older version of nvmupdate?
Where did you get your kernel?

Linux's upstream i40e doesn't provide infrastructure to flash cards. The tools warns about it. There is no bug here. I understand that fact. The 1.2.37 out-of-tree driver does have this infrastructure but does not compile with a linux 4.0 kernel (not without patches provided earlier). Is this the bug you want me to fill in the bugtracker? -- \o/ Arthur G Gandi.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired
