Shouldn't AI be smart enough now to translate drivers from Linux to FreeBSD? It's mostly plumbing after all.
No, AI is anything but "smart". And my understanding is that the network stack is so well done in FreeBSD that it is a shame to touch it with AI code.
Useful for anyone using FreeBSD with one of the 10GbE chipsets, as commonly found in minipcs these days.
This driver seems to be working well for people. :)
10GBe cards with these start at $55 on Amazon.
