Comment 1 Eugene Grosbein freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-21 14:58:49 UTC
Support for this NIC was merged from head branch with 3.2.12-k version of the drives too late during release cycle of 11.1-RELEASE, so the release had not get it. It is present in 11.1-STABLE and will be available in the future 11.2-RELEASE.

Meantime, you can use 11.1-STABLE or try to manually build newer ixgbe(4) drives sources taken from 11.1-STABLE branch using your 11.1-RELEASE system.
