Hi! I'am in search of sgi 9470434 eprom dump, anyone have it? If anyone have this board the dump with ethtool is very simple... the goal is use this file to write a eeprom of my ibm gigabit board (same as sgi 9470434). Thank in advance

Hi Marmotta,

please provide details of how to get dump (including getting the ethernet card version).

I have two SGI boxes with 1GBE cards, one with Single port (in Fuel) and one with Dual Port (in Octane2).

Cheers from Oz,

jwhat/John.

The board is generic part number 200027c chipset Tigon originally is Alteon AceNIC 1000. The sgi part number is 9470434, but is the same card.

I follow this guide http://rqsall.com/sgi/tricks/gigabit_ethernet for change the pci_id (vendor and model) but my board seems to be locked... I can’t read or write the eeprom. :-(

If you can read the eeprom you can try to execute: “ethtool -e (devicename) raw on > eeprom-backup.bin“

Ethtool is available on linux, I think is not available on Irix...
