Hi !
I use a 10 GbE Controller 82599EN. I need to update an EEPROM which is programed via ROM Writer.
I try to update by using ethtool.
Type as below:
ethtool -E eth2 magic 0x10FB0860 offset 0x0 length 0x1 value 0x07
Result as below:
Cannot set EEPROM data:Invalid argument.
Would you tell me what are invalid arguments ?
Or Would you tell another method for updating an external EEPROM ?
BR,
Taira

Hi !!
I understand why does ethtool command occur the error message(Invalid argument).
I used incorrect magic number in case of using ethtool -E option.
The magic number should be "Device ID + Vender ID", but I set "Vender ID + Device ID".
I input correct magic number, and success to update EEPROM contents.
