Ну це те, шо я маю з ядром 6.14HWE для убунти 24.04 Власне, проблема в тому, що я пробую запустити на цих картах SR-IOV й воно не працює. По-перше, при створенні VF'ів воно не видає їм MAC-адреси:

# echo 3 > /sys/class/net/eno49/device/sriov_numvfs # ip a [ ... ] 26: eno49v0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether *00:00:00:00:00:00* brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname enp4s0f0v0 ...

Try: rmmod bnx2x modprobe bnx2x num_vfs=3 use_random_vf_mac=1 shoudl fix spoofing issue. That driver was flaky with SR-IOV enabled for me (which is why i avoided it)... yep, like that: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/bnx2x-driver-issues-with-sr-iov-enabled.14... forums.servethehome.com is a good source of Linux esoteric driver/firmware knowledge, but not much there https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/bcm57810-firmware-recovery... HP has SPP (Service Pack for Proliant), which can install drivers without OS (bootable ISO). But DL9 has being discontinued, so it can be a bit old; and gone from HP site... here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240527170401/https://www.brainattic.org/static... --igor
