Hi Guys,
I am trying to enable PXE for an Intel 82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network card.
I am running Linux CentOS 6.4
lspci | grep -i network
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
02:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
82:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
82:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
I have downloaded the latest "bootutil" [BootUtil version 1.4.17.4]
According to the specs for this type of network chip, it should be able to do PXE booting.
I have enabled Intel 10G cards in the past with the "bootutil" program, but it won't enable this type of card:
./bootutil64e -flashenable -nic=3

It looks like that there is no firmware present on this card.
[I could not find any info how to put firmware on this card]
Any idea how to enable PXE for this Intel network chip?
Thanks,
Pieter
