Hi all,
I'm looking at putting a Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN MCX516A-CCAT in a NVMe-based storage server.
The FreeBSD manual pages indicate that the mlx5en(4) driver has been included since 11.0
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mlx5en&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-release-ports
There are instructions to compile the driver into the kernel and load it at boot time. Is FreeNAS already configured this way? or should I expect to have to do these steps myself?
I don't have a lot of FreeBSD experience, some Linux, but not any modification/compiling kernel. So just curious if the ConnectX-5 should work out-of-the-box or not?
Thank you all for your time!
