Hi Jonathan,
The intel product documents are confused about which chips they use. The clearest split is something along the lines of:7 82599EB -- PCI Express* (PCIe*) 2.0, dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller 7 82599ES -- Serial 10 GbE backplane interface for blade implementations (includes the 82599EB SKU functionality plus serial).
I read this again slower this time. First time I assume you wrote the 82598EB and 82599ES. Sorry about my bad ready here. I guess I spend to many days trying to find out and get all my chipset number confuse agian.
In any case if I understand you properly as the Serial one are working, there isn't any reason that the other wouldn't as it's the same chipset basically without the added serial part?
And as the serial SFP model are working already then this wold be find too?
There are mentions of 82598 10GbaseT working, I don't see why 82599 10GbaseT wouldn't work off hand.
On this one, I will make a leap of fate here. I suppose you are right. Would be nice to know for sure anyway. The only way to know if for me to gt one I guess and test it for real.
Best, Daniel
