Adding [email protected] back to the CC for the record. Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't reply back yesterday because I was having trouble getting the firmware updated from a Linux boot disk. I ended up having to try from a Windows boot disk. Unfortunately, I am getting the same thing again: wharrels@styx2:/home/wharrels# dmesg | grep ^ixl ixl0 at pci5 dev 0 function 0 "Intel XXV710 SFP28" rev 0x02: port 0, FW 8.0.61820 API 1.11, msix, 8 queues, address 3c:fd:fe:ed:b7:28 ixl1 at pci5 dev 0 function 1 "Intel XXV710 SFP28" rev 0x02: port 1, FW 8.0.61820 API 1.11, msix, 8 queues, address 3c:fd:fe:ed:b7:29 ixl2 at pci8 dev 0 function 0 "Intel XXV710 SFP28" rev 0x02: port 0, FW 8.0.61820 API 1.11, msix, 8 queues, address 3c:fd:fe:eb:19:b0 ixl3 at pci8 dev 0 function 1 "Intel XXV710 SFP28" rev 0x02: port 1, FW 8.0.61820 API 1.11, msix, 8 queues, address 3c:fd:fe:eb:19:b1 ixl4 at pci12 dev 0 function 0 "Intel X722 10GBASE-T" rev 0x09: port 0, FW 3.1.57069 API 1.5, msix, 8 queues, address 3c:ec:ef:1a:df:f2 ixl5 at pci12 dev 0 function 1 "Intel X722 10GBASE-T" rev 0x09: port 1, FW 3.1.57069 API 1.5, msix, 8 queues, address 3c:ec:ef:1a:df:f3 Yup, all the XXV710 cards have been updated to newest firmware.
