Hi Lads I saw this changelog for SFP+ drivers so that they will recognize a SFP module when it is plugged in (rather than having to reboot the box to have the OS pick up the new module)
Fix for ix(4) SFP+ module detection when booting without the modules plugged in. I was wondering if it would be possible to include this in the 5.6 Stable as a Patch, The reason is I would like to deploy to our production router, and I would be worried about running 5.7 current on the production system.. I was wondering if there wasn't a significant functionality change in the driver would it be possible to include it as patch in stable branch ? failing that would someone give advice about trying to "back port" the fix ( I hate the thought of it ) any help / advice would be appreciated.
