jessie support for QLogic FastLinQ 41112 Dual Port 10Gb SFP+ Adapter
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

We have some hardware with this NIC:

QLogic FastLinQ 41112 Dual Port 10Gb SFP+ Adapter, low profile

On lspci, this shows as:

af:00.0 Ethernet controller: QLogic Corp. Device 8070 (rev 02)
af:00.1 Ethernet controller: QLogic Corp. Device 8070 (rev 02)

This seems to be unsupported by the Debian Jessie installer:

│ No Ethernet card was detected. If you know the name of the driver       │
│ needed by your Ethernet card, you can select it from the list.          │

This seems supported in Debian Stretch.

Options seem to be:

  • workaround the jessie installer limitation by using some other NIC (usb or pci)
  • try to backport a newer installer into our jessie installation mechanisms
  • try to get the driver injected into the jessie installer
  • develop some other long term solution to deal with this kind of situations

This card isn't supported in stretch either, see T196477. The available options for jessie are even more limited than what I wrote on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T196477#4472632 (as there's no backport of kernels > 4.9 for jessie). We don't really need 10G here, I'd say let's check if that also has an onboard 1G NIC which is supported.

Ok, then closing this task now. It seems we won't see support in Jessie in the short-mid term.
