CHELSIO CC2-S320E-SR - Still good for v13?

[MrGuvernment]

Hello All,

As I swore I had another 10Gb SFP+ NIC around, due to basement renos going on, I can not find it! So, off to Ebay.

While I would love to get an Intel x520-SR, the price in Canada has them pretty high vs what I got my current one for (almost triple), so came across 2 x CHELSIO CC2-S320E-SR for $70 CAD, but, wanted to check as these are old, well ... ancient now, cards, do they still work in v13 of core?

According to FreeBSD - it looks supported as an SR device?

FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE Hardware Notes

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.

The cxgb(4) driver supports 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the T3 and T3B chipset:

• Chelsio 10GBase-CX4
• Chelsio 10GBase-LR
• Chelsio 10GBase-SR

I don't know full T3 nomenclature, but they should probably work. There was no significant activity in the cxgb(4) driver for quite a while.

One way to find out! Will pick them up and let everyone know.

Actually ended up not getting these as I found local deal for some Intel x520's instead.
