Hello, Why would you have an unprogrammed i210 device/NIC? Did something happen to the system the device or NIC was in? What type of system is the i210 in? Since you are asking for an eepromARMtool I'm assuming that the i210 is in some sort of ARM system. Is that correct? Where did the sys

Hello. I must apologize, because it is not easy to fill internal buffers of network adapter with unplugged cable. Normal network communication* probably doesn't reach the driver under such circumstances. Netconsole must be bypassing that somehow. (*I tried RAW Ethernet packets.) Petr

Hello, I found this thread [1]. I have precisely the same problem (i210 0x8086:0x1531 with unprogrammed NVM connected to i.MX6 PCIe). The only difference is I'm working with mainline kernel (next/3.12-rc). Is it correct to assume this i210 cannot operate without programmed iNVM? Where can I ob

Just to help us all understand "the loop" issue.. Here's an example of driver code which uses the existing MSI-X interfaces, for a device which can work with either 16, 8, 4, 2, or 1 MSI-X interrupt. This is from a new driver I'm working on right now: static int xx_alloc_msix_irqs (struct xx_dev
