0x50 and 0x51 are EEPROM like. See drivers/net/phy/sfp.c. The standard at24 EEPROM driver can also read it. And so should the SFP code in the igb driver! > Does this make sense as some sort of proprietary standard > (Cisco, if I should take the vendor's label at face value), > or is this likely some "3rd-party innovation thinko", not worth > implementing? See if drivers/net/phy/mdio-i2c.c is useful. I'm just guessing here. Andrew
