Dear openbsd users,

I'm trying to install an Intel 82580 dual port SFP PCIe adapter in obsd 5.3 
amd64. The device isn't recognized and I've got errors in dmesg like:

"em0 at pci5 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82580 Fiber" rev 0x01: msiem0: Hardware 
Initialization Failedem0: Unable to initialize the hardware"
"em1 at pci5 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82580 Fiber" rev 0x01: msiem1: Hardware 
Initialization Failedem1: Unable to initialize the hardware"

According to this post (2012) the chipset is only supported with copper and not 
fiber yet. 
http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/Intel-82580EB-Hardware-Initialization-Failed-td80282.html

I just wanted to know if the provided patch was still relevant for openbsd 5.3 
or not and if the fiber support for this chipset was planned for future 
releases ?

Thanks for your time !
