For my BPI-R3 I now gave H!Fiber ASF-GE-T-Cisco-2pcs-HF(EU) a try.
But unfortunately with no success.
I run 6.12-main (and also tried others) from Franks Repo BPI-Router-Linux. Thanks for providing this.
Both SFPs RJ45 (originally named lan4 and eth1) are connected to a Gbit/s Switch to test 1000BASE-T.
After
ifup lan4
or
ifup eth1
respectively the Gbit/s Switch LEDs light up and indicate a link.
But the logging says:

In ‘drivers/net/phy/sfp.c’ I see
// OEM SFP-GE-T is a 1000Base-T module with broken TX_FAULT indicator
SFP_QUIRK_F("OEM", "SFP-GE-T", sfp_fixup_ignore_tx_fault),
exists.
Is there a known way (special kernel version, patches etc.) to get SFP-GE-T working with 1000BASE-T?
Are there other brand SFPs around with better support for 1000BASE-T to work in a BPI-R3?
