The current firmware we're shipping with FreeBSD is 12.4.11 with some fixes from 12.4.13, since 12.4.13 had some serious autonegotiation problems with the 1000baseT nics. We really need the source, since at least my zero copy patches make modifications to the firmware to enable header splitting. If we have to rely on a firmware image (as opposed to the firmware source), we won't be able to bring the zero copy stuff forward as well.
