We are using a "FastLinQ 41232 Dual Port" (OCP 3.0) in our Dell R650xs for our WAN connection. Any "bigger" change seem to end in a Kernel Panic.

1. This happens directly, when booting via UEFI and autoloading the driver: if_qlnxe_load="YES"
   
2. Booting via BIOS CSM and running the Wizard with ql0 as the WAN Interface.
3. Booting via BIOS CSM and reassiaging ql0 as WAN interaface (console)

Shortend crash log for the last test:

<118>Enter the WAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection 
<118>(bge0 bge1 ixl0 ixl1 ixl2 ixl3 ql0 ql1 or a): 
<118>Enter the LAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection 
<118>NOTE: this enables full Firewalling/NAT mode.
<118>(bge0 bge1 ixl0 ixl1 ixl2 ixl3 ql1 a or nothing if finished): 
<118>Enter the Optional 1 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection
