The comments on the FreeBSD driver speaks as being based off the Linux driver ? 
I'm guessing you were unable to trace the "original" driver ? Maybe the quality 
got "lost in translation" ?

Hi Claudio

One I know of : 
https://shop.opnsense.com/dec700-series-opnsense-desktop-security-appliance/

EUR 699 is probably "reasonably priced" for such a system, although of course 
others are of course free to disagree. ;-)

I started to write something that looks like a driver but haven't gone far yet.
There is no freely available doc about this chipset. The only source is the
FreeBSD driver and it is meh...

These integrated network ports are often disabled. I have not found a
reasonably priced system that has them exposed. This is an important reason
why OpenBSD is laking this driver. A developer needs to get such a system.
None of the supermicro boards with AMD EPYC SoC have those 10G ports
exposed.

No worries.

(And for anyone following on-list, I think FreeBSD might have subsequently 
renamed axgbe to something else beginning on ax, I think maybe "axa" as per the 
"history" note on the bottom of this page

Hi Laura,

Thank you for that.

To be (more) clear, I was not talking about "network cards in AMD 
computers", I was talking about AMD SoC network ports.


e.g. in FreeBSD land, these are known as "axgbe"
