Hello.
I have just taken delivery of two Intel PRO/1000 ET dual port ethernet adapters from a retailer on Amazon, having researched their capabilities first to ensure they support iSCSI remote boot. I have installed them into my servers (running Linux) and am trying to use bootutil to flash the iSCSI firmware onto them.
However, bootutil returns the following:
[root@hyp2 BootUtil]# Linux_x64/bootutil64e
Intel(R) Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility
BootUtil version 1.7.21.0

Type BootUtil -? for help
Port Network Address Location Series WOL Flash Firmware Version

2 A0369F0F6321 7:00.1 Gigabit NO FLASH Not Present
Attempting to enable flash returns the following:
[root@hyp2 BootUtil]# Linux_x64/bootutil64e -fe -all
Intel(R) Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility
BootUtil version 1.7.21.0

Am I doing something wrong, or have I possibly been sold counterfeit adapters? I have attached a photograph of one of them.
Edit: two more photos attached, showing plain packaging and the back of the adapter, showing no hologram label like my genuine PRO/1000 CT desktop adapters have.
Thanks.
JM

Thank you for your response.
Intel's product brief document for the PRO/1000 ET Server Adapter makes no mention of variants that lack a boot ROM.
However, I've noticed that the brief says the adapter is PCIe x4 and the product photos match, but what I've received are clearly PCIe x1. This also makes me wonder if I've received a counterfeit, mislabelled product.
I'll send them back.
