Hello, I am using following Ethernet controller on one of our systems, and once in a while I run into following error after bootup, resulting in the port not sending/receiving packets.
2016-12-13T01:06:55.499000+00:00 kernel: i40e 0000:20:00.3: eeprom check failed (-2), Tx/Rx traffic disabled
Following is the current version we use (which is quite old; we are in process of upgrading). But does anyone know if this is a known issue and may be fixed in an upgraded driver and/or NVM?
System# lspci -s 0000:20:00.3
20:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GBASE-T (rev 01)
System# ethtool -i eth1
driver: i40e
version: 1.3.47
firmware-version: 4.43 0x80001c3f 1.1018.0

Thank you very much!
