I just wanted to say that I got several Intel 10 GBE cards:
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Ethernet Controller 10G X550T'
and while FreeBSD support seems strong, they will not hold a 10G connection
with my UniFi swtich. The talk 1G just fine, but even with the most
expensive cat6 cables, they won't talk 10GE with the switch.
I have several Asus "AREION" cards that talk just fine to said switch.with
any of the cat 5e+ or better cables... so the switch itself is fine.
For myself, I'm considering getting some SFP for other cards I have around
and using those with fiber (or maybe trying copper). Some of those cards
are also the IX driver.
