ix is not aquatia. Nor is it ixl. What NIC do you actually have?

Was asking should i purchase new intel SFP and if the problem
with the drivers still their in the link provided.
The intel-ix-kmod seem to fix the issue, with the media: Ethernet autoselect (Unknown <full-duplex>)
for intel card. that part was missing. reference also because having same issue with Aquantia.

I have the Aquantia (AOM-AQS-107-B0C2-CX) that came with the system
and was hoping this would be fix in 2.7.0

So you're seeing a link negotiation issue with an Aquantia NIC and are womdering if a fix similar to that in ixgbe could be applied?

What exactly are you seeing?

Ah OK, so it's an Aquantia SFP module in an Intel ixl NIC.

And the problem you're seeing is that it's reporting the link type as 'Unknown'?

What speed is it actually linked at? What does the other end of that link report?

Ok, not much you can do about that until the ixl driver is updated to recognise multi-gig link rates. That assumes the SFP module is passing that data.

But reporting as unknown shouldn't actually cause a problem passing traffic.
