Subject: [E1000-devel] Setting speed to 10GB on 2x40 XL710 FVL nic

Hi,
Is it possible to set the speed to 10GB on 2x40 FVL nic?

For me the following did not work:

ethtool -i eth3
driver: i40e
...

ethtool eth3
Settings for eth3:
        Supported ports: [ ]
        Supported link modes:   40000baseCR4/Full
                                40000baseSR4/Full
                                40000baseLR4/Full
        Supported pause frame use: Symmetric
        Supports auto-negotiation: No
        Advertised link modes:  40000baseCR4/Full
                                40000baseSR4/Full
                                40000baseLR4/Full
        Advertised pause frame use: No
        Advertised auto-negotiation: No
        Speed: Unknown!
        Duplex: Unknown! (255)

ethtool -s eth3 speed 10000
Cannot set new settings: Operation not supported
  not setting speed

lspci shows it as;
06:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller
XL710 for 40GbE QSFP+ (rev 01)

Kevin
