Driver support request: HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560FLR-SFP+

[ianstagib]

Hi guys

 

Please could you add support for this network card which is installed into my HP dl380 g9 server? It's a shame for me to have it sitting idle and not being used and I don't want to have to buy another card just to get 10gb support. Here is a link to the product page with further links to drivers:

Thanks in advance

The link to the drivers does not seem to work (at least for me).  I was trying to look if they had drivers for the latest Linux kernels.

looks like should use ixgbe driver.  What is output from lspci -vs xx:xxx.x replace with pci id.

 

any logs for ixgbe inn syslog?

Here is the output. It does appear you are correct and it is using the ixgbe driver. it seems I may have a problem with the fact that I am using a unifi sfp module and not an intel one and it's just not picking up the connection (port lights still flashing). However it is weird for me that this was working when I was using windows but doesn't when I moved to unraid. Is this expected behaviour? When I apply the "ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=..." mentioned elswhere on the forum here, then the card stops being listed under my network settings. Any ideas?

ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=

How did you set this in syslinux config?

 

syslinux on end of append line ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1  for two ports.

append initrd=/bzroot ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1

 

 

In Linux, in /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf put: 

options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1

I get the following in syslog:

 

kernel: ixgbe: `1,1' invalid for parameter `allow_unsupported_sfp'

 

I even tried adding 1's for the 6 network ports I have (excluding ilo, not sure if that's necessary too) based on what worked for another member on the forum and got the same error:

 

ixgbe: `1,1,1,1,1,1' invalid for parameter `allow_unsupported_sfp'

 

The following shows that there are 6 ports shown:

It seemed happy when I just used "ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=1" which you will see in the diagnostic file I uploaded but It hasn't resulted in it retrieving an IP address unfortunately. I also tried turning off the vm's and docker and clicking the port up buttons on the interface in network settings but that remained as unconfigured and didn't retrieve an IP address which I also checked in my Unifi control panel.

Just checking if there's been any thoughts on this?

[Ruben Marien]

@ianstagib did you get this working? I would love to know how as I'm curious myself

[Dustin Solis]

Anyone get one of these LOM cards working? I just popped one in and plugged in a DAC cable and it doesn't light up the port at all. 

UPDATE:

Nevermind. I don't know why it wasn't working before but now it is without having to do any configuration.
