I added to my /boot/loader.conf: hw.ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=1 Yet when I reboot, I still get: Apr 16 23:29:04 kiwi kernel: ix3: <Intel(R) PRO/10GbE PCI-Express Network Driver, Version - 2.5.7 - STABLE/9> port 0xdf40-0xdf5f mem 0xf8e80000-0xf8efffff,0xf8f78000-0xf8f7bfff irq 37 at device 0.1 on pci4 Apr 16 23:29:04 kiwi kernel: ix3: Using MSIX interrupts with 9 vectors Apr 16 23:29:04 kiwi kernel: ix3: Unsupported SFP+ Module Apr 16 23:29:04 kiwi kernel: device_attach: ix3 attach returned 5 I was attempting to follow this advice: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/attachments/20100610/61a9127c/ixgbe-sfp.obj Will setting a value in the loader.conf file 'set' the allow_unsupported_sfp bool to TRUE? Here is the code: # grep allow_unsupported_sfp /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/* /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe_phy.c: if (hw->allow_unsupported_sfp == TRUE) { /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe_type.h: bool allow_unsupported_sfp; Advice?
