Hot Lava makes some interesting cards using the Intel chipset:
https://www.hotlavasystems.com/products_40gbe.html
You can get a 2x 40Gbps card, configure port1 as 40Gbps, and the second
port as 4x 10Gbps ports with a breakout cable. According to a quick
call to their support number, the 4 ports on the break out will show up
as separate devices (eg ix0, ix1, ix2, ix3). My use case doesn't need a
QSFP -> 4x 10Gbps breakout, but it would be need to try out.
As other people noted, you would need kit with PCE 3.0 slots.

I second the recommendation for Chelsio. I had brand new retail Intel
40GE NICs (4 x 10GE) and I got so frustrated with the bugs that I sold
them used on eBay just to recoup some of the cost.

Hi,
I need to use a 10 Gbps, 2 port NIC (copper RJ-45) with FreeBSD 11.3R amd64.
Which NIC (manufacturer and model) would you recommend as the most trouble-free
and reliable?
Maybe some Intel?
