I'd like a few more eyes on this one before I file a ticket. It seems to me that FreeNAS 9.10 (I'm currently on 9.10.2-U1) is using the FreeBSD driver that was made for the XL710 as the base driver in FreeNAS for the X710 cards. I don't believe this is correct as Intel doesn't list the drivers as compatible for either card. I believe it should be using the Physical Function driver (current latest version from Intel is 3.1.14) for the X710. I have a few X710-DA4 cards and this is what my system shows its using:
ixl0: <Intel(R) Ethernet Connection XL710 Driver, Version - 1.4.3>
An Intel X540-T2 shows the following driver in use:
ix0: <Intel(R) PRO/10GbE PCI-Express Network Driver, Version - 3.1.13-k>
The X710 and X540 should both be using the same ix driver and not the ixl driver.
Somewhere along the lines this changed, because I've seen posts about FreeNAS 9.3 when they first added support for the X710 series and they used to use the correct driver for this card (old version 2.x.x). Is it just me or does something seem off here?
X710-DA4 PCI info: dev.ixl.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x1572 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0002 class=0x020000
