Description
Hello Devs,
I know you guys doesn't like infiniband, but since there is a lot of cheap option with mellanox card, you could include the ethernet driver for both mlx4 and mlx5.
Thanks in advance!
edit : It seems it's supported by the freebsd base : https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.1R/hardware.html#ethernet
The mlx4en(4) driver supports the following network adapters:
Mellanox ConnectX-2 (ETH)
Mellanox ConnectX-3 (ETH)
The mlx5en(4) driver supports 100Gb, 50Gb, 40Gb, 25Gb and 10Gb Ethernet adapters. ConnectX-4 supports:10/20/25/40/50/56/100Gb/s speeds. ConnectX-4 LX supports:10/25/40/50Gb/s speeds (and reduced power consumption) :
