Looking up transceiver info fails with an X710 network adapter.
vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth8 transceiver netlink error: Invalid argument
Same error in ethtool:
vyos@vyos:~$ ethtool -m eth8 netlink error: Invalid argument
Relevant dmesg log entry:
[167704.600449] i40e 0000:0d:00.0 eth8: Module EEPROM memory read not supported. Please update the NVM image.
Relevant lspci output:
