> Is anyone working to include support for the mlx5 PMD under FreeBSD?
I think Stephen (Cc) looked at it.
> I've started down this road by building Linux compatibility layers for the required Netlink and Ethtool calls in the driver, but would gladly accept help and advice from those much more knowledgeable then myself!
Cc also mlx5 maintainers.
> Though not important, why did Mellanox build a PMD that relied on the kernel driver being in place unlike most other PMDs?
