It sounds like at least two drivers have the ability, and at least three people have the interest. I'll put this on my list. I'm not sure if I'll get to work on it soon, though. -Alan On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 9:40 AM, Eric Joyner wrote: > ixl(4) will list all of the supported module types for th

ixl(4) will list all of the supported module types for the device if you use ifconfig -m, but I know that isn't the intended purpose of the -m flag. I wouldn't mind moving all of that to another function whose purpose is to just list all supported module types. - Eric On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 3:26

Displaying the supported module types of a network adapter

2015-07-15 Thread Alan Somers
SIOCGIFMEDIA will return the list of supported media types and the current media type of a network interface. But for NICs with pluggable modules (SFP+, QSFP, etc), it would also be useful to know the allowed module type. I can't find any way to determine that using the standard tools. cxgbe(4)
