The = kernel can't find a driver for two of the ethernet ports. Linux sees them a= s mlx5, and FreeBSD has a driver by that name in sys/dev/mlx5.

Just load mlx5en, mlx5 is the co= re dependency shared by mlx5en and mlx5ib, you shouldn't need to load it ma= nually. >=20 > So why doesn't module mlx5 load automatically? >=20 >=20 Because no one added pnp info or whatever that's called I guess. >=20 > And what are the ifconfig device names? >=20 >=20 IIRC it's mceN.
