fwupdate Fails to Display Network Controller Information (35626863, 35654674)
In rare instances, the network controller discovery operation of
fwupdate
fails. Without this information, fwupdate
cannot be used to update the firmware of installed network
cards.
Workaround
If you encounter this issue, you need to change an OBP setting by running the following command as root:
# eeprom local-mac-address?=true
Then, reboot the system. When OS comes up, run the fwupdate list
controller
command which should now display the correct information about
network cards.
