I tested it with two ports on a 13.2p3 box with the port intel-ix-kmod in version 3.3.35 and the ports behave like you have observed: ix<n> NICs with SFP+ cage display the optics info, if available. ix<n> NICs with copper-port have approx. 0.4s delay. I guess that the driver should know if a certain model of the NIC has a SFP+ cage with some i2c bus -- and if it's copper-only, it should not query the bus. -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 Now what ?
