On my modified 4.5.0-rc6 I do see 4 nics but the fourth is bogus as the hwaddr is nothing like and I can't physically test at the mo. I don't think there is support yet for the second 10Gb nic.
So mainline 4.5.0 works without needing extra patches?
Yes.
I just build 4.4.5, and that works without any extra patches, too. Impressive. This is starting to get close to x86 as far as the lack of hoop jumping goes.
What config did you use? The one from the CentOS kernel (with make oldconfig or similar)?
Yes, I started with the original config, accepting all defaults, then made the changes I neeeded/wanted.
Worked for me, too.
As I said earlier, I can't physically test my 10G ports at the mo and the mac address of eth3 is wildly out. However, ethtool does report (the same as eth2);
# ethtool eth3 Settings for eth3: Supported ports: [ FIBRE ] Supported link modes: 10000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: No Advertised link modes: 10000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: 10000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: FIBRE PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: off Link detected: no
so maybe it's just a mis reported mac address.
I'm also seeing the extra NIC with 4.4.5, but as you also described, the reported MAC address is wrong.
I wasn't intending to use the fibre ports anyway, though.
