The following reply was made to PR kern/153951; it has been noted by GNATS.

It looks like dynamic dection of optics type has been incorporated into the newest version if ixgbe.c, 1.17.2.12.2.2, with description 217713 - Make phy detection dynamic so adapters that support multiple types of media can be properly identified by the interface layer Thus I believe kern/153951 should be closed.
