The following reply was made to PR kern/153951; it has been noted by GNATS. From: sthaug@nethelp.no To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/153951: Intel 10GBase-LR Ethernet card detected as 10GBase-SR Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 22:08:09 +0100 (CET) Checking some more I find that the same Intel 82599ES controller based card is also available in 10GBase-SR versions - it simply depends on the type of SFP+ used in the card. See for instance http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=39773 http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=39774 Thus the *correct* solution to my problem is probably to retrieve the optics type from the SFP+, instead of setting it statically in the driver. Until such a solution is available, my 1-line patch works for me... Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
