Reading the previous thread, I suggested there might be a sysctl to accept "other" sfps. Long story short, just for fun we booted a FreeBSD 10.1 system, and the card was recognized ( yay! ) but still "no carrier" from ifconfig. sysctl hw.ixl didn't show any tunables for "unsupported_sfp". Is this chip more picky about the tranceivers? Best regards Andreas Nilsson
