Intel X540-T2 10Gb unsupported for FreeNAS 9.3

Very similar problem here - runs fine bare metal, but under a VM in Proxmox an Intel X520-DA2 card status shows 'no carrier'. Did you find a solution?

Code:

[root@freenasback] ~# ifconfig
ix0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=407bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO>
        ether 00:1b:21:ae:a3:c4

Yeah, good time to point out that running FreeNAS virtualized for production use is a bad idea, and if you want to do that, the only hypervisor that's been shown to be suitable is ESXi.
