<p>Created page with &quot;IRIX OEM gigabit cards command a premium online, often over $100USD. However, with a bit of engineering it&#039;s possible to modify cards using the Broadcom BCM5704 chipset to appear as SGI ethernet cards P/N 9210289. To do so, install the card in a GNU/Linux machine with an open PCI-X slot, and use ethtool: ethtool -E (interface) magic 0x669955aa offset 0xa4 value 0x80 ethtool -E (interface) magic 0x669955aa offset 0xa5 value 0x13 ethtool -E (interface) magic 0x669955aa...&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>IRIX OEM gigabit cards command a premium online, often over $100USD.
