Several broadcom PHYs were added to the match list after 4.6 was released, if you could try a snapshot this may well work already. > > The 57711 NICs have a brief entry in dmesg but do not show up as NICs in > the ifconfig output: > > "Broadcom BCM57711" rev 0x00 at pci6 dev 0 function 0 not configured > "Broadcom BCM57711" rev 0x00 at pci6 dev 0 function 1 not configured > "Broadcom BCM57711" rev 0x00 at pci9 dev 0 function 0 not configured > "Broadcom BCM57711" rev 0x00 at pci9 dev 0 function 1 not configured > > Reviewing the change notes, its looks like 5709 support was partially > added in 4.2 and expanded in 4.6.

Your 5709S might work, and if not shouldn't be too hard to get working. > > If no for both, I am willing to work with an OpenBSD developer to use > this hardware to update the bnx driver so it will support these chipsets. Please try a snapshot, as said before the 10GbE broadcom is different (it is called bnx2x in linux I think), so this won't work.
