If here is still sombody who need help to recover from this issue, I can probably help him, I successful recovered all machines on our side, even one which do not longer show the NIC via lspci, so the only restiction is, that the machine still boots and we have a NVM image of a similar machine. You should know the PCI ids of the NIC from the time before it crashed and the MAC address. -- Karsten Keil SuSE Labs SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr.5 90409 Nuernberg, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg)
