One more question: If I turn off the Hyper-threading, does it still uses 8 cores of 10?

Thanks for the advice! The 19-10900t es+Z490 platform was temporally set up for testing.

I successfully downgrade the firmware from 21.xxx to 20.06.04.03 with the install packages from Dell. (failed to downgrade further to 20.02.xx) Still not working. Anyway, many thanks. It the new one supports ixgbevf?

OK. I think it is time to give up and use x540-t2 to replace. many thanks! Just found out that the PCI vendor of BCM57406 is 14E4:16D2. But it still not been recognized by the new driver.

Luckily, I took a screenshot when it was installed on a ProxmoxVE machine last time. The pci vendor of BCM57416 NIC is [14e4:16d8]. OK. I will try.

Many thanks！！！ It seems not working with my Acer desktop PC. I plan to try it on another DIY PC (work place) when pandemic lockdown is over. I‘ll feedback to you as soon as possible.

I just found that there is a bnxt_en.ko in extra2.lzma. Should I add this one into extra.lzma and replace the old one in extra2.lzma?

I don't know how to integrate the bnxt_en.ko file into the extra.lzma, but I can learn. Maybe takes a couple of weeks. Many thanks!

With this driver, 918 can't identify the BCM57416 and BCM57406 NIC. I wander if it contains bnxt_en.ko? I tried to edit rc.modules, but it didn't work.
