Hey Kevin, All I meant in the post you reference bellow is that ixgbe (not the driver that supports Fortville) does NOT support a zero init mode for unknown PHYs. I mention the reason for this in the post as well. We have never support such a mode and to my knowledge Fortville's driver doesn't either. However I don't work directly with that driver so will let others on the list more knowledgeable that I correct me if I'm wrong about that. :)
