"no carrier" by using 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet

[Alexander Fiveg]

Hello, 

I am trying to use the network adapter based on the Intel® 82599 10 Gigabit 
Ethernet Controller with ixgbe-2.2.3 driver. The driver loads properly 
but ifconfig shows "no carrier" for all ix* interfaces. The adapter shouldn't 
be corrupt though - I've tested this adapter on the same machine with Linux 
(Ubuntu) and it worked properly. 

Can you please provide me with some information about supporting this adapter
(pciID:0x10fb) ? If the chip is supported, then could you tell me please what 
would be my next steps to get it work (in -CURRENT if possible)? Ask me if you 
need more information about software and hardware configurations on the 
machine where I use the this network adapter. 

Thanks,
Alex

P.S. Some outputs that provide more information about the configuration on my 
machine:
