Yes, that specific device id (0x15fd) indicates the NVM/eeprom is blank.

Hi,

The I225 adapter family should be mostly supported by igc(4); it's hard to say in your case because it looks like the NVM is invalid so the driver won't do anything with the hardware. You may need a BIOS update that has a valid NVM in it (or maybe redo it since it might not have happened correctly), or there could be some other hardware issue that requires an RMA.

Hi,
   I'm trying to use an I225 based NIC (Amitosai MTS-PCIE25GLAN) on 13.1-STABLE, but it's not being attached. dmesg shows the following:

igc0: <Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I225(blankNVM)> mem 0xf5800000-0xf5ffffff,0xf6000000-0xf6003fff irq 30 at device 0.0 on pci6
igc0: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
igc0: IFDI_ATTACH_PRE failed 5
device_attach: igc0 attach returned 5

and this is the output of pciconf -lcbv

Is this adapter supported or is there something I can do to make it work?

Thanks in advance
