Does it actually not work, or does it just complain about it? I know lots of router/switch vendors will complain, but the optics still actually work just fine. I know the Intel ixgbe driver won't actually turn on unsupported SFPs by default (which is annoying), but there's an option for the module to turn them on, allow_unsupported_sfp (and then they work fine, including "ethtool -m" to see DOM info). I don't know if there's a similar option for Broadcom. Sigh, games vendors play with standard ports... -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
