Dean, I'll offer a data point which may be helpful.
I have access to a computer with NICs which show up in pciconf -lv as,
"82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection," and whose ports attach
to a switch using Twinax cabling.
I booted the computer from an 11.1-RELEASE amd64 ISO just now, and I was
able to bring ix0 up with no problems.
I'm not sure which switch this computer's attached to, but I could find
out this coming week and report back if that seems like valuable info for
you (I know that it's either a Cisco or Brocade, so it's different from
what you're using).
Happy days to you Dean.
