 ====== FreeNAS 11.2-U5 and 10Gbe ======
-This is just a note as I see a lot of posts out there saying use Chelsio cards for FreeNAS as they are well supported.  Well I tried this and yes the card was recognized but the DAC cable was not. I was using SPF+ CISCO Passive Twinax cable [[https://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0747521101_CABLE_ASSEMBLIES.xml&channel=Products|part 74752-9519]] connected to [[https://mikrotik.com/product/crs305_1g_4s_in|Mikrotik CRS305]] switch but the link would not activate.  I switched to a different 10Gbe card and presto.

+Firmware update - I don't think this was necessary as the driver auto updates we just need a reboot
