To solve this problem I created a patch that was accepted by Linux upstream (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1b43e0d20f2d007ec4c124b0deaa848ff8d61f4a) so starting from kernel 6.9 the ixgbe driver will have 1000BASE-BX support, however VyOS uses the out of tree driver so it is necessary to backport the patch. 2024-03-23T08:18:59+00:00 Christian Breunig christian@breunig.cc 2024-03-23T08:18:59+00:00 urn:sha1:70ac747b2889757e35ac2a90fd77cda9d4b97ebd This extends an else path with the logic from commit ea7d59a4b ("ixgbe: T6155: always enable allow_unsupported_sfp for all NICs by default") 2024-03-22T07:54:25+00:00 Christian Breunig christian@breunig.cc 2024-03-22T07:50:58+00:00 urn:sha1:ea7d59a4bf64a854be04ccf7566e1cf95d4e09a8 In-tree vs. Out-Of-Tree drivers differ in the way how unsupported transceivers are defined (uint vs array of int) for the Kernel module parameters. This results in: kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: failed to initialize because an unsupported SFP+ module type was detected. kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: Reload the driver after installing a supported module. kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: removed PHC on eth6 This patch always enables unsupported SFP+ modules as wo do anyway from the userspace but only for the first port.
