ix(4) SFP+ 10GbE NICs also work with 1Gb SFPs. You may need a diff which
was committed to -current to avoid an artificial driver restriction denying
use of LX on some nics; it's an easy backport if you want to stick with 5.7
or you could just use a snapshot.
Alternatively there are SFP em(4) devices such as those made by HotLava,
but they are a bit harder to obtain.
