Fwd: wrong VENDOR_ID 10ac

Fwd: wrong VENDOR_ID 10ac

[Christian Vasquez Perales]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1844 bytes --]

Hello,

May be you can help me, I have bought 2 identical trendnet TEG-PCITXR
gigabit cards, and my centos has detected automatically just 1 of the
2 cards and this card is working fine with the driver r8169, but the
other is not recognized,

As per my investigation, the VENDOR_ID in the wrong card is 10ac, and
it must to be 10ec (according the PCI database), please see the
attached with the output from lspci and setpci,

Could you give me some ideas? or do you know how to change the
Vendor_ID in a network card?

Thanks in advance by your attention,

Kind regards, Christian Vasquez.

Hi,
Here you have the output from the linux standard tools,

Honestly, I don't understand how 2 identical cards have diferent
vendor_id in the ROM memory, I have checked in the Realtek website and
nothing is there,

Please. let me know as soon as possible,

Regards, Christian.

There's no generic way to do this.  I suggest you return the faulty card
for a refund/replacement; there is quite possibly more wrong with it
than this one-bit error.
