Hello,
I wanted to report an issue with OpenBSD”s iavf driver that started to
occur after updating the firmware of my Intel X710 NIC from version 9.40
to 9.50 using intel’s nvmupdate utility.
After the update all OpenBSD guests have lost network connectivity on
iavf<x> interfaces.
I tried the following to get it back up running:
- Installing all available updates on the hypervisor, proxmox 8.2
(kernel 6.5.13-5-pve)
- Compiling the latest available i40e driver from intel’s website
(v2.25.9)
- Rebooting several times, hypervisor and guests
There are many different operating systems running as guests including
Linux, FreeBSD and Windows, however OpenBSD is currently the only OS
where this problem occurs.
I’m running the latest snapshot on my OpenBSD guests.
Related dmesg output:
