Hello @dch, I can confirm that 10G works fine; I have been using it for almost a year.
According to https://forum.traverse.com.au/t/sfp-working-only-in-recovery/177/7 10G does work
Yes it does, but did not with my S+RJ10 sfp.
but it's not clear to me if this is the case or not, comment #19 (comment) suggests otherwise.
I m not sure, but I think this comment is more related to this: (https://forum.traverse.com.au/t/sfp-working-only-in-recovery/177/4. To summarize, it works only in legacy mode and won't work in managed mode soon.
I hope it helps

I've 10 Gbps Passive Twinax cable, 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper RJ-45 and 1000BASE-T SFP Copper RJ-45 transceivers, but not a suitable NIC on the other side to test SFP+. RJ-45 transceivers didn't work for me either.

Did you have a chance to stress it with iperf
? I'm still wondering what the drivers' performance would be in their current (not optimized) form.
Adding my experiences here.
Asus KGPE-D16 with Intel X520-DA2 (detected as Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection, using ix driver on FreeBSD and ixgbe on Linux). Connected via DAC cable directly to Ten64. There is no link at all. ifconfig -vvv on KGPE-D16 detects the cable:
plugged: SFP/SFP+/SFP28 Unknown (Copper pigtail)

FreeBSD version is 14.0-RELEASE.
I just tried Linux 6.6.21 on KGPE-D16 and it seems strange - sometimes I am actually able to get a link and IP via DHCP on ixgbe, but it's like 50% chance. When I can't, only a reboot helps (I have all the modules I need built-in, so can't try reloading).
