I had originally sent this to the freebsd...@mailbox.intel.com address mentioned in the ixgbe(4) man page, but it unfortunately bounced.
I am running FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE/amd64 and have a "82598EB 10-Gigabit AF Dual Port Network Connection" controller. I've been trying to get a working SFP+ module for it to do 10-GBASE-SR. The /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/README file, on line 100, says that the following SFP+ module has "received some testing": Avago SFP+ SR bailed, 10g single rate AFBR-700SDZ I bought one, inserted into the controller, booted up, and was greeted by this message: ix0: port 0xecc0-0xecdf mem 0xdf340000-0xdf35ffff,0xdf380000-0xdf3bffff,0xdf338000-0xdf33bfff irq 38 at device 0.0 on pci6 ix0: Using MSIX interrupts with 9 vectors ix0: RX Descriptors exceed system mbuf max, using default instead! ix0: Unsupported SFP+ Module ix0: Hardware Initialization Failure device_attach: ix0 attach returned 5 ix0: port 0xece0-0xecff mem 0xdf360000-0xdf37ffff,0xdf3c0000-0xdf3fffff,0xdf33c000-0xdf33ffff irq 45 at device 0.1 on pci6 Anyone know why this happened? Can you point me to a complete list of SFP+ modules that will work with the controller? Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks. -Boris _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
