Hi,
I use these commands and it works perfectly. The only issue is that it is not persistent across reboots. I'm hoping someone here can assist with this part.
rmmod ixgbe
insmod /lib/modules/ixgbe.ko allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1
/etc/rc.network restart
Cheers,
Matt
UPDATE: Managed to get this to work on every reboot using the Task Scheduler to run the above commands in a script on startup. Not sure if this is the best way..
