Yes, etrack_id is an unique value. But not all NICs have this value.
I didn't find any value about fw version in fm10k.
I40e is 8 bit too.
firmware-version: 5.04 0x800024ca

Is etrack_id a unique value that defines the FW version on its own?
And is above definition true for all NICs (or at least Intel ones)?
Because I can see i40e is using 4 bit value for etrack_id ?
