Interesting, the following might explain why my XL710 feels a bit
sketchy then. ;-)
# ethtool -i p4p1
driver: i40e
version: 1.2.37-k
firmware-version: f4.22.26225 a1.1 n4.24 e12ef
Looks like the firmware on this NIC is even older.
I tried to update the firmware with nvmupdate64e and the first thing I
noticed is that you cannot update the firmware even with todays linux
git. The tool errors out because it cannot access the NVM. Only with a
recent net-next kernel I was able to update the firmware.
ethtool -i p4p1
driver: i40e
version: 1.2.37-k
firmware-version: f4.33.31377 a1.2 n4.42 e1932
However during the update I got a lot of errors in dmesg.

Not sure if that flash was actually successful or not.
