    SFP+ PCIe NIC that supports bidirectional transceivers?

    I recoded the brand to Intel with the FS Box and the part number to SFP-10GLR-31 and it works in the Intel NIC now.

    SFP+ PCIe NIC that supports bidirectional transceivers?

    I have these transceivers from FS.com and I want to use them in an ICX 6610. However, they're not detected. Apparently earlier Brocade switches didn't support BiDi modules. So I wanted to modify the EEPROM to show up as a duplex transceiver. I have a Banana Pi R4 board with SFP+ cages. However...

    Patching Intel X520 EEPROM to unlock all SFP+ transceivers

    I'm also having this issue with BiDi transceivers, even with the flag set. [ 13.030567] ixgbe: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver [ 13.030568] ixgbe: Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Intel Corporation. [ 13.050528] ixgbe 0000:02:00.0: failed to load because an unsupported SFP+ or QSFP...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Supposedly, the transceiver EEPROM can be reprogrammed to report as a duplex transceiver and the switch would detect it. My only board with an SFP+ connection is a BPi-R4 running OpenWRT and it doesn't look like the MTK driver supports dumping or modifying the EEPROM or registers...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    LR has no minimum distance though, so it should be fine in that regard. Yeah, SR LC UPC Duplex does make more sense but I needed white cables and happened to have some white simplex fiber lying around from a previous installation, so decided to buy the BiDi transceivers. I couldn't really find...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I have an ICX 6610 with the 10G SFP+ ports enabled, and I'm trying to use these http://fs.com/products/42385.html transceivers, but when I plug them in nothing is detected. Are these incompatible?
