Hi list,
can somebody fix the bug that the device ixN is missing when the cable =
mainly the SFP+ module isn't inserted during boot?!
Today I connected a new server to our storage system which has 3 ixgbe =
cards so 6 ports and is freebsd 9 based.
Then I have noticed that the link is missing and the free ports were =
missing from ifconfig. Checking the dmesg revealed  the problem.
ixN: Hardware Initialization Failure   SPF+ module missing *narf*

It's the same bug as this PR =

Thanks and have a good day,
-dennis
