Recommended NVM version for Netgate-supplied X710 NICs with 23.05.1

Setarcos

Hi all, is there a recommended NVM version for the X710-based accessory NICs sold on the Netgate store for Netgate hardware with 23.05.1? Since the native FreeBSD ixl driver version differs from what Intel provides with their driver, it's a bit tricky to cross-reference the matching NVM version.

The version I'm running, which has only ever been updated by the driver in pfSense, reports:

dev.ixl.0.fw_version: fw 7.0.50775 api 1.8 nvm 7.00 etid 8000521b oem 0.0.0

Ok, thank you @stephenw10,

I have been running NVM 7.30 for the past few years and given the number of improvements introduced to the driver with FreeBSD 14.0 in 23.x (most cherry-picked from the Intel driver) was curious if it might be time to upgrade the NVM.
