Add tools for updating intel network cards firmware #412

Open IAMJDA opened 1 month ago

IAMJDA commented 1 month ago

The documentation for the intel ixl driver states additional tools to update the firmware:

   •   To change the behavior of the QSFP+ ports on  XL710  adapters,  use
   the  Intel  QCU  (QSFP+  configuration  utility);  installed by the
   sysutils/intel-qcu package.

   •   To update the firmware on an adapter, use  the  Intel  Non-Volatile
   Memory     (NVM) Update     Utility; installed    by    the
   sysutils/intel-nvmupdate-10g,   sysutils/intel-nvmupdate-40g,    or
   sysutils/intel-nvmupdate-100g, package.

See https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ixl&sektion=4&format=html

So, it would be great to have sysutils/intel-nvmupdate-10g (I only have slow cards available), but maybe also the rest 😉
