The 1.12.16 ixl driver shows "unknown" for link rate when using 2.5/5Gbps modes (X710-T2L on Firmware 8.2 and also tested on 8.3) on FreeBSD 12.2 and a firewall distro based on it called pfSense 2.5 , the modes still work fine however with no affect on functionality. The prior 1.12.13 from Jan 2021, does not have this issue and link rates shows up normally. I'm hoping Intel corrects this bug.

Hello Abhi,
Good day!
Please see below information for the update form our engineering team.
This appears to be an output error that does not impact the function/speed or overall operation of the device. This has been shared with the FreeBSD driver dev team and should be fixed in an upcoming release.
Feel free to let us know if you have additional questions and clarifications.
Best regards,
Crisselle C.

1. I downloaded the driver directly from your site clicking through the download section and finally getting to the downloads under X710-T2L heading.
2. Yes that is correct having tried on firmware version 8.30 and the one prior to it. 1.12.13 is fine.
3. Yes that is correct there is no issue with functionality, just a status issue.

Hello Abhi,

We hope you won't mind sharing the additional information below that would help in further investigating the issue.
1. Will you be able to provide screenshot where the issue "unknown" for link rate when using 2.5/5Gbps modes occurs?
2. Please confirm that there are no other software or hardware changes prior to the issue aside from driver update.
3. PBA of the adapter. You may refer to the link below on where to find the PBA number.

I'm currently using a FreeBSD 12.2 based firewall distro pfSense 2.5, I've switched back to 1.12.13 drivers which I am using with the 8.30 firmware. I cannot switch back at the moment as that would entail a loss in internet connectivity which I can not afford at this time. I have attached a current image, in the area where it is showing "2500 Base-T" "Full Duplex", on 1.12.16, it will show "Unknown" "Full Duplex" instead. Essentially the same result if I enter the ifconfig command to display ethernet status on FreeBSD 12.2 or in pfSense. I have also attached front/back images of my card taken a while back.

Hello Abhi,
Thank you for the patience on this matter.
Our engineering team would like to clarify if the "Unknown" "Full Duplex" link rate issue are both present on Multi-gig operation? We have encircled it in the picture to request for your confirmation.

Full Duplex is not an issue that part is correct, just the “Unknown” part for link status. It only occurs on Multigig operation (2.5/5 Gbe Modes) on 1.12.16, with 1 and 10 Gbe operation there is no issue.
On 1.12.13 as shown in the image the link status is working perfectly fine with Multi-gig modes and it actually is showing 2500 Base-T.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Yes the "Unkown" issue occurs on both LAN and WAN, basically both ports on the X710-T2L.
Edit: I finally got around to reinstalling the 1.12.16 drivers. I’ve attached a screenshots from the GUI as well as command line after entering the ifconfig command.
