December 2, 20232 yr The following is spamming and filling my Unraid logs: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: Warning firmware error detected FWSM: 0x00000000 I'm using the card, but I think this error is contributing to random network issues. I've seen people ask for support on this in here, but no one ever answers how to fix it, or if Unraid is going to fix their support for it. Can anyone help? Running 6.12.6. Here is the result of ethtool -i eth0: driver: bnx2 version: 6.1.64-Unraid firmware-version: 5.0.12 bc 5.0.11 NCSI 2.0.5 expansion-rom-version: bus-info: 0000:01:00.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no

Is there truly no solution to this issue? If there is a firmware update, there should be documentation on where to find it, and how to apply it, no?
December 2, 20232 yr Author I've found this, but these are drivers: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/14302/intel-network-adapter-driver-for-pcie-intel-10-gigabit-ethernet-network-connections-under-linux.html There is nothing Unraid specific, and I can't compile my own drivers on Unraid using the ixgbe-5.19.6.tar.gz package.

December 3, 20232 yr Author So...? Is there any more information I can provide to get this fixed? Edited December 3, 20232 yr by Original_Vecna
December 3, 20232 yr Community Expert The issue appears to be the NIC, if there's no firmware update try re-flashing the current one in case it's damaged, failing that I would try a different NIC.

From everything I can find online, Firmware on 82599 network controller is ROM based and generally speaking not upgradable.
December 4, 20232 yr Community Expert Could also be a diver issue, in that case a newer kernel may include a newer in tree driver, retest with v6.13 when available, since it will be based on kernel 6.5 (or newer).
