Details
A new XXV710 (uses the ixl(4) driver) firmware coming out soon is supposed to add support for new Active Optical / Copper cables, so add them here so that they can be displayed in ifconfig. Also add 25Gbase-LR because that wasn't in the media type list, and should theoretically be already supported by the current cards. Plug in each of the above mentioned cables and verify that they're displayed in ifconfig. (Hasn't been tested yet)
Diff Detail
Event TimelineComment Actions I kind of want to bump __FreeBSD_version to make it easier for our drivers to see if there's support for these new media types. Comment Actions __FreeBSD_version numbers aren't that much of a scarce commodity so you could bump it if needed, but what about just #ifdef IFM_10G_AOC etc.? Comment Actions You could ifdef the things for which version supports it. But that interacts poorly with the ports system, so I'd go for it on bumping the FreeBSD_version. It's cheap enough. Comment Actions I mean in the driver, just do #ifdef IFM_10G_AOC instead of #if __FreeBSD_version >= xxxxxx. Comment Actions I've decided against bumping the FreeBSD version number -- there aren't very many defines added here, so adding #ifdef's isn't too big of a deal. |
