This is due to the FW version being too old on the card for the current IGB driver from the kernel. It is quite simple to update the FW using Intel's utility. You do not even need to boot into anything as the tools work from the installed system. I just had to do this with 2 of the i350t4 cards.... You will need the Preboot.tar.gz file; mkdir ~/intel_FW cd ~/inter_FW wget http://downloadmirror.intel.com/19186/eng/Preboot.tar.gz tar -xzpf Preboot.tar.gz cd ~/intel_FW/APPS/BootUtil/Linux_x64/ chmod u+x bootutil64e ./bootutil64e << look for the port that has the PXE under the "Flash Firmware" column. ./bootutil64e -NIC=1 -UP=PXE -FILE=~/intel_FW/APPS/BootUtil/BootIMG.FLB Reboot & PROFIT! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
