Dean, I'll offer a data point which may be helpful. I have access to a computer with NICs which show up in pciconf -lv as, "82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection," and whose ports attach to a switch using Twinax cabling. I booted the computer from an 11.1-RELEASE amd64 ISO just now, and I was able to bring ix0 up with no problems. I'm not sure which switch this computer's attached to, but I could find out this coming week and report back if that seems like valuable info for you (I know that it's either a Cisco or Brocade, so it's different from what you're using). Happy days to you Dean.
