Hi,

Today after a few tests and reboot, I load my ixgbe and ixgbevf driver
under Linux kernel 3.6-rc4 (Fedora 15). Suddenly I'm not able to load the
VF driver and I could find the reason. When I load the VF driver, the
message says:

1. ixgbevf: PF still in reset state, assigning new addres
2. ixgbe 0000:01:00.1: vpd r/w failed.  This is likely a firmware bug on
this device.  Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.

I tried many times with different kernels but still the same. Does this
mean a firmware bug and I have to contact the vendor? Thanks!

Regards,
William
