​Thanks Eric!

Replacing this previous line into my /boot/loader.conf
hw.ix.unsupported_sfp="1"
by this new one:
hw.ix.allow_unsupported_sfp="1"​


​solved the problem: -) but this broke POLA :-(

And the default behavior is not very sysadmin friendly:
How, with the message "device_attach: ix0 attach returned 5" and no more ix
interface detected, can I know it just came from using unsupported SFP ?
