Hi,

I've got an "Oracle/SUN Multithreaded 10-Gigabit Ethernet Network Controller", however the card didn't seems to see any plugged cable.

Code:
# lspci -k

[...]

Could be also a debian question, but i'm looking using it with proxmox, as a integrated switch. It's for my DMZ, who got some VM on proxmox, my Atlas probe, and my router.

Any idea? It seems that the driver isn't fully operational for this card...

Is this card support MDI/MDIX ?
I plugged the card on MDI/MDIX compatible equipment, without any success...
