>Release:        2.2.7
>Environment:
Not needed. I have already debugged and fixed the problem, but my fix needs to be tested on a regular, non-Plus Pro/10 card.
>Description:
The ethernet card driver if_ex.c fails to recognize my Pro/10+ card. It thinks it's a regular Pro/10 and therefore does not work at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
Need a Pro/10+ card with Ethernet Address that starts with 00:AA:00. The driver uses the Ethernet Address to distinguish between the Pro/10+ and the regular, older Pro/10. However, some Pro/10+ cards, like mine, has an Ethernet Address which starts with the same 3 bytes as that for regular Pro/10s.
>Fix:
The fix is to read the stepping of the i82595 chip on the card. If the steping is 4 or more, then the chip is an FX, which the chip used in the Pro/10+. Otherwise, it's a regular Pro/10. I have the fix, but since I can not submit it with this web form, I do not know how to submit the fixed code.
