Useful for anyone using FreeBSD with one of the 10GbE chipsets, as commonly found in minipcs these days.
This driver seems to be working well for people. :)

Shouldn't AI be smart enough now to translate drivers from Linux to FreeBSD? It's mostly plumbing after all.

10GBe cards with these start at $55 on Amazon.

Just curious, most people that use FreeBSD are either experts or hardcode enthusiasts. It used to include FreeNAS/TrueNAS users, but they migrated to Linux as the product moved to Linux. That means the users of FreeBSD are not the ones I would expect to purchase and use these controllers, but other options like 10 Gbps with SFP+ (AOC or Fiber Optic) or even 25Gbps and higher. Is there a significant demand for this driver? A 10 Gbps SFP+ card is cheaper and more flexible, I have a few in several computers and even a few laying around as spares, they are also more compatible with all sorts of OS-es and usually more capable.
