Seems slight issue with an intel X540T2 card at 10Gb, we have a
Fujitsu X0440 10/40Gb switch, however the card only seems to negotiate
1Gb
ifconfig -m ix0
ix0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=401bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO>

        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        supported media:
                media autoselect
                media 10Gbase-T
# ifconfig ix0 media 10Gbase-T
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Invalid argument
# ifconfig ix0 media autoselect


and it doesnt seem to support the ifconfig ix0 media 10Gbase-T any ideas
