I have found Intel's documentation for the NVM of I219 : http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/ethernet-connection-i219-datasheet.pdf (Section 10). I am afraid it is too technical for me though. - Alexey. On 27 Jul 2016, at 12:33, Alexey Muranov wrote: > A

The flash and NVM are two separate items. The flash enables things like PXE booting and iSCSI whereas the NVM stores things like the Network Address. One workaround that you might be able to use would be to just modify your driver to skip over the loop that actually invokes the NVM check. If you
