When searching I found the same symptom of invalid VPD data for 82599EB.
Do these adapters have non-VPD data in VPD address space? Or is the actual
VPD data at another offset than 0? I know that few Chelsio devices have
such a non-standard VPD structure.


I'll add that to the quirk list and see if that helps.

Sorry to reply from my personal account. If I did it from my work
account I'd be top-posting because of Outlook and that goes over like a
lead balloon.

Anyway, can you send us a dump of your eeprom using ethtool -e? You can
either send it via a bug on e1000.sourceforge.net or try sending it to

The other thing is I'm wondering is what the subvendor device ID you
have is referring to because it's not in the pci database. Some ODMs
like getting creative with what they put in the NVM.
