I connected the Ethernet Server Adaptor X520-DA2 to my linux (Ubuntu 12.04) machine.
The ixgbe driver was automatically loaded and I was able to configure an IP.
I am unable to bring up the card when I have an optical fibre connected to it.
When I connect an Ethernet into one of the card's bays and connect an Ethernet cable, I am able to use the card.
I did run
$ ethtool -p eth2
on the interface but the link is still shown not to be detected.
Do I need any other kernel configurations to make the Optical fibre cable get detected.
Thanks
Attached below are the Kernel configuration file and the dmesg output
