--- Comment #2 from Dr. Uwe Meyer-Gruhl <freebsd_email@congenio.de> ---
(In reply to john from comment #1)
Interesting. I thought that there was no firmware for these adapters at all=
 and
that the revision was all that separated generations. Do you happen to know=
 if
the NIC firmware is contained in the motherboard BIOS or not changeable at =
all?

Alas, I cannot try the patch and check the version, since I lack means to b=
uild
my own kernel.

The reason I am asking is that the first link I referenced says something a=
bout
Asus having released both a BIOS and a driver update for their Z790 Kingpin
boards which seems to fix the issue (which in this case, was the micro-hang=
s,
indicating that not only the full hang, but also the underlying hardware
problem may have been fixed). If this is true, there may have been a NIC
firmware update contained in the new BIOS.

I have found that for my hardware, Minisforum has just released a BIOS upda=
te
from version 1.17 (late 2023) to 1.22 (03/12/2024). I have installed it and
using it for two days now - so far without a hangup.
