Hello list,
I have a pair of ixg(4) devices in one of my systems, 82599EB is the
model I think ("Intel(R) PRO/10GbE PCI-Express Network Driver, Version -
4.0.1-k")
Now I haven't used SFP+ before, but I have heard that there might be
vendor lock-in going on that some NICs only accept modules of their own
manufacture.
My question then is, will this be a problem for this intel one?
I noted that the FreeBSD driver from which the NetBSD driver is derived
has a "hw.ix.allow_unsupported_sfp" sysctl which seems to not have made
it across in the porting (or wasn't available at the time).
