I've been having issues getting a ixgbe (ix) device to link reliably in a decent amount of time at boot to 1Gbps switch connected on cat 5, even netwait was timing out. Having a dig in the code there's advertise_speed which seemed like it was just what I was looking for but unfortunately sysctl.conf is too late in the boot process to have any effect. Looking for the syscyl for ixgbe I found none so dug around and noticed all the tunables where missing sysctl's hence not displaying. In addition noticed enable_aim was using a common var instead of device independent which is what its config dev.ix.0.enable_aim indicated to me. I've created a patch to fix all of the above which can be found here in PR here when its been processed:- http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=173201 Hope it helps.
