I=E2=80=99m looking at running FreeBSD on an old Firebox M270.=20 It has a C3558 CPU with integrated X553 LAN controller which connects = over MDIO to a Marvell 88E6190 switch. Out of the box the X553 backplane is detected but there doesn=E2=80=99t = seem to be any attempt at probing the MDIO for connected devices. I=E2=80=99ve played around with the Intel ixgbe drivers, compiling the = kernel etc to see if I can figure it out but I=E2=80=99m really = struggling to understand what needs to be done. At this stage I=E2=80=99m reaching out to the community to see if anyone = can clarify something for me=E2=80=A6.are there some fundamental changes = or additions required to the drivers to make this work, or is it = something that should work already but needs some options enabling or = configurations tweaking. I=E2=80=99m reluctant to put more time into = trawling through the code if it=E2=80=99s a =E2=80=98simple=E2=80=99 = configuration issue. Any pointers would be very welcome. Thank you.=
