@grey yep thats it. I didn’t have lspci on my vm. I just found the package that had it and I can confirm its -nn.
@Developers when you get a chance can you look into the FOS kernel and see if these specific nics are supported?
i tried to figure that out, but while i’m comfortable in linux, i don’t know how to get into the fog kernel while its running, i tred ssh and it did’nt connect. is there a write up on how to do that? I’d be happy to try.
There isn’t a specific write up but I can tell you how to go about it.
Manually register one of these servers. Then schedule a image capture and be sure to check the debug option. Then pxe boot the target computer it should after a few messages drop you to a command prompt. Now with that firmware message you may never get to a FOS Engine command prompt. But lets assume you do. You can either navigate around using the server console, or simply give root a password, then you can connect via putty or ssh.
On the FOS linux you will want to navigate to /var/log and look at boot or dmsg files to see if you can find out any more details about the firmware.
