i`m using flexoptix 25G LR SFP28, programmed for intel and ubiquity (switch).
Already tried FS.com SFP`s, and a DAC, no carrier.

tried with pfsense, same result.

i have these tunables:

HARDWARE
       Most adapters in   the Intel Ethernet 700 Series with  SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+
       cages  have  firmware  that  requires  that Intel qualified modules are
       used; these qualified modules are  listed  below. This qualification
       check cannot be disabled by the driver.


   The ixl driver supports 25Gb Ethernet adapters with these SFP28 modules:

       •   Intel 10G/25G SFP28 25GBASE-SR E25GSFP28SR
       •   Intel 10G/25G SFP28 25GBASE-SR E25GSFP28SRX (Extended Temp)
