Can not change link mode for NIC 82599ES from 10000baseT to 10000baseKR

HI, I am using Ubuntu 20.04 Kernel 5.08 and have dual port Intel NIC 82599ES which supports 10000baseKR but with ethtool it shows 10000baseT Link modes, and there is no other options for advertise.

When I tried to change advertise link modes via

ethtool -s enp1f0s1 advertise 0x80000 it gaves error about wrong arguments.

How to change link mode on this NIC?

Hello Michael,

Thanks for response attached please find requested info.

Small remark: Could it be that we need to write down some bits in EEPROM dump of NIC to actovate supported modes?

Hello akaranovski,


I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Upon further checking and base on the picture that you provided, this is a third party network adapter. We still recommend to contact your 3rd party manufacturer because they are still the best source of support and they will be in the best position to assist you regarding this concern regarding link speeds. They might provide you recommendations based on their own hardware configuration on the adapter.
