I have an Intel 520 that was working great in my server, with some generic SFP+ twinax cables. Sent to remote datacenter, and they weren't long enough, so they used some cisco SFP+'s and fiber. I am now getting that its an "Unsupported SFP+ module" and I don't see my 10G nic's listed. (I have a iDrac card I am accessing it through remotely)
From what I have read in the freebsd forums, I need to try adding this to /boot/loader.conf
hw.ixgbe.unsupported_sfp=1
Many people seem to have good luck with it (you know.. Cisco and Nexus are a rather common combination!)
However, in the past, I would use "mount -rw /" to then modify the file. with 9.3, they changed things. now I get:
mount: /: unknown special file or file system
how can I get that setting into the loader.conf in 9.3? is there another file that will inject it at boot?
