How can I change all the device ID on my quad port Intel NIC?

[mrjayviper]

So I have a quadport Intel gigabite NIC (dual 82571EB).

To get the device IDs, I used:

xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ lspci -nn -vvv | grep Ethernet
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:000a]
03:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:000a]
04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:000a]
04:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:000a]

all the 4 devices were identified as 8086:10bc. I want to change 10bc to 105e for all 4 devices.

ifconfig shows all 4 devices as:

enp3s0f0 enp3s0f1 enp4s0f0 enp4s0f1

To find the correct offset, I used this command:

xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ ethtool -e my-interface-here | grep 86
0x0010 87 d9 05 71 2f 24 4b 70 3c 10 bc 10 86 80 65 b3

Running the command above for all 4 interfaces gave me the same result.

I made a backup of the EEPROM for all interfaces using:

xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ ]ethtool -e my-interface-here raw on > my-interface-here.bin

To actually make the change, I used this command:

xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ ethtool -E enp3s0f0 magic 0x10bc8086 offset 0x001a value 0x5e
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ ethtool -E enp3s0f1 magic 0x10bc8086 offset 0x001a value 0x5e
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ ethtool -E enp4s0f0 magic 0x10bc8086 offset 0x001a value 0x5e
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ ethtool -E enp4s0f1 magic 0x10bc8086 offset 0x001a value 0x5e

Observations/issues:

1. After rebooting machine (into Ubuntu again), I ran

xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ lspci -nn -vvv | grep Ethernet
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:000a]
03:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:105e] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:000a]
04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:10bc] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) [8086:000a]
04:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:105e] (rev 06)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:000a]

and it shows only 2 device IDs have changed.

2. I moved the network cable to all 4 ports and I can browse the internet without any problems. This happened after point 1.

Any suggestions on how to change all device IDs to 105e? thanks a lot
