I have a new Intel X520-SR2 that I plopped into my Supermicro H8QGL-6F
with the hope I could connect 10GbE to a Cisco 3560. The links come but
but there is much wierdness. Looking through the driver I see the 82599EB
is supported but no mention of the ES.
Should this work?
I have:

Here's an interesting point. If I set the address for the interface, it is
accepted but an ifconfig of the interface is shown above. Specifically, I
previously executed this command:
Keystone# ifconfig ix0 inet 192.168.3.2/24 mtu 8192 up
Executing that command a second time yields:
Keystone# ifconfig ix0 inet 192.168.3.2/24 mtu 8192 up
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
A truss of that command yields more interesting things, specifically:
kldload("if_ix") ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
There is no driver named if_ix. It is also weird that the interface is
named ix0 rather than ixgbe0.
Also, an arp shows:
Keystone# arp -an

So clearly there is a MAC/IP association however I cannot ping the IP:
Keystone# ping 192.168.3.2
PING 192.168.3.2 (192.168.3.2): 56 data bytes
(nothing)
Can someone clue me in?
