For example, I would assume that: hw.ixgbe.unsupported_sfp="1" No longer has any effect and should be replaced with: hw.ix.unsupported_sfp="1" I created a Phabricator review for this patch: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D32531 I don't have an ix device, so I can't tell if the diagnostic error messages have moved from ixgbe to ix. |
% man 4 ix NAME ixgbe – Intel(R) 10Gb Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operating system SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file: device ixgbe Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_ixgbe_load="YES" --- r280182 comments: - The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that has been requested for some time. - Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv --- sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC: device ix # Intel PRO/10GbE PCIE PF Ethernet device ixv # Intel PRO/10GbE PCIE VF Ethernet --- Since r280182 there is no more device named ixgbe, so the manpage name and the statements from manpage are invalid: device ixgbe # for kernel configuration file if_ixgbe_load="YES" # for loader.conf(5)
