Hello, I bought HP 560SFP+ used on ebay and use it in esxi 6.7 box. Problem I have with it is that it doesnt support 1Gb link rate. So when I insert SFP, link doesnt come up. Forcing 1000/full duplex also doesnt work, card states it only supports 10000BaseX/Full.
I am wondering if there is any way of enabling 1Gb rate support, maybe using OEM drivers, or doing firmware update?
Card device and vendor IDs are following: 8086:10fb 103c:17d3
