Unfortunately, it didn't work. Loading the module caused the box to hang for a
bit (maybe 5-10 seconds or so)?

And the NIC wasn't recognized (ifconfig -a doesn't show it). Here's the
relevant output from dmesg:
aq0: <Aquantia AQtion 10Gbit Network Adapter> mem
0xdc800000-0xdc87ffff,0xdc8a0000-0xdc8a0fff,0xdc400000-0xdc7fffff at device 0.0
on pci9
atlantic: FLB> F/W successfully loaded from flash.
atlantic: [!] aq_hw_init_ucp(): F/W reset failed, err -16
atlantic:  aq_if_attach_pre: aq_hw_mpi_create fail err=-16
aq0: IFDI_ATTACH_PRE failed 6
device_attach: aq0 attach returned 6

This was on an Asus Crosshair x670e Extreme motherboard. IIRC, it has the
AQC113CS variant, which IIRC the CS suffix means it's an onboard model.

Hope this helps!

Also, I've had a few motherboards over the years with various 10g AQC NIC's and
this driver hasn't never really worked for me. In the past, the NICs were
actually recognized but the driver was far too buggy to be of any use (causing
system lockups, network activity mostly not working, etc). Fortunately, this
board also has an Intel NIC that works fine under FreeBSD.
