It's plugged in to an Extreme Networks gigabit switch with Finisar SFP
transceivers.  The Intel NIC is populated with an Intel-branded
Finisar dual-rate SFP+ transceiver, model #FTLX8571D3BCV.

Here's pciconf -lv:
ix0 at pci0:8:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x00038086 chip=0x10fb8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
ix1 at pci0:8:0:1:	class=0x020000 card=0x00038086 chip=0x10fb8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

Is there anything it would help for me to instrument in the driver?

I think E-Mails from me are getting caught in your spam filter unless
they go through a list :(

Thanks!
