yes i noticed that part was missing, but the card i have is an I350-T2 and
according to:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005722.html
the I350-T2 is supposed to have sr-iov support.
i guess it is possible they sent me the wrong type of card or something,
i'll double check what is listed on the card itself.
Some OEM's (ex: dell) shut off the SR-IOV ability on their NIC's because
reasons.
Please provide an lspci -n and lspci -v -v for that device so we can see
what OEM it is.
I would return it and have them send you a real one that isn't nerfed, also
FYI most NIC's on ebay are counterfeit so be careful what you buy.
https://www.servethehome.com/investigating-fake-intel-i350-network-adapters/ (real
intel NIC ASIC and SR-IOV but crappy secondary components)
if i look at the back of the card there is a sticker with: I350T2V2
here is the output:
Weird.
I would say you almost definitely got a fake - either way send it back.
yes very strange.
thing is, i bought it from a well known web shop I've been using forever.
i have opened a support ticket with them about this, hopefully i can return it.
but then question is, how do i find a network card with sr-iov that works?
clearly specs on web shops can't always be trusted.
also strange is that this page:
http://ark.intel.com/products/84804/Intel-Ethernet-Server-Adapter-I350-T2V2
clearly lists sr-iov and this is the model i got.
i did a bit more searching and checking.
found this pdf:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/ethernet-controller-i350-datasheet.pdf
section 6.2.25 looks interesting specifically the IOV Enable bit.
i used ethtool to dump the eeprom to file and a hex editor to check the
contents and this bit is set to a zero indicating IOV is not exposed.
but i'm definitely no expert on these things so i might be wrong too.
but i wonder if there is a way to flip this bit and see what happens.
