No link with Intel E810 on Opnsense 26.7 / FreeBSD 15 when DDP loaded

I'm not quiet sure if I have the same issue or something related...

I updated to 26.7 and I stopped getting a link on the E823-L. In addition the System behaved very unstable/slow on 26.7 when trying to login directly on the console. It took several seconds just to show the login prompt.

I'm on NVM 3.26 since my NIC is embedded SOC and Supermicro is not providing a newer OEM FW...

Same problem with no link on 25GbE, running both E810 and E823 and DDP after upgrading to 26.7
Without loading DDP we get link and about 1Gbps throughput on each NIC :/

E810-XXV fw 7.6.2 api 1.7 nvm 4.60
E823-C fw 7.1.6 api 1.7 nvm 3.26
ICE OS Default Package version 1.3.41.0

Upgraded to 26.7.4 as I saw the release notes pointed out that if_ice was updated, no changes, still no link after DDP has loaded.
However I am not sure that the DDP package is?

Has anyone tried to install the newest driver and DDP from Intel 2.1.8?
I have tested to build it on 26.7.4 with the current kernel sources from github, but have not yet tried to install it as I am not quite sure how to perform a roll back and keep future upgrade path clean?
