For what it's worth, this doesn't just affect the X710-TM4 controller. The X710-T2L card is rendered completely useless by this bug as that card only has copper 10 GbE ports. As with the X710-TM4, the latest version of the Intel driver fixes the issue.
Are there plans to release a fixed i40e driver for Focal soon? It looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1890988 is another duplicate of this bug as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887703 Title: [Regression] 5.4 is not identifying all ports on Intel x710-TM4 10GbE controller Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Focal: Confirmed Bug description: [IMPACT] The Intel x710-TM4 is one of the latest 10GbE controllers from intel using the i40e driver. This particular 4 port comes in a 2x2 arrangement: 2x SFP+ and 2x RJ-45. This card is enabled in 5.4 via the inbox version of the i40e driver, and hwinfo does show both sides of the card but the kernel only sees the two SFP+ ports and cannot address or use the two copper ports. This is currently blocking certification for one of our hardware partners. After some investigation we see this works in a more recent version of the driver. Intel suggests the commit in FIXES from 5.5 should make this work. This is a regression from the i40e driver in Bionic (5.3 HWE) that, per the tester, does show all four ports.
