Hello,=20

I am trying to use the network adapter based on the Intel=AE 82599 10 Gigab=
it=20
Ethernet Controller with ixgbe-2.2.3 driver. The driver loads properly=20
but ifconfig shows "no carrier" for all ix* interfaces. The adapter shouldn=
't=20
be corrupt though - I've tested this adapter on the same machine with Linux=
=20
(Ubuntu) and it worked properly.=20

Can you please provide me with some information about supporting this adapt=
er
(pciID:0x10fb) ? If the chip is supported, then could you tell me please wh=
at=20
would be my next steps to get it work (in -CURRENT if possible)? Ask me if =
you=20
need more information about software and hardware configurations on the=20
machine where I use the this network adapter.=20

Thanks,
Alex

P.S. Some outputs that provide more information about the configuration on =
