That's interesting. I never got it working with unprogrammed iNVM, I always had
to program it first.

No, but this looks like the card cannot acquire a semaphore. You might want to
check if there are maybe some pecularities in semaphore handling on this i210
hardware. I remember intel did change the semaphore handling between various
intel ethernet cards.

I doubt so.

The MX6 SabreLite and the MX6 SabreSDP . Both MX6Quad.

I don't have the setup assembled now and the i210 is not available to me now,
but you should be getting the same result with the N6X. Right now, I only have
the MX6 SabreLite and an another intel NIC available, sorry.
