modprobe on freebsd

Hello ,

I am using intel X550 fiber interface but it has unsupported SFP+ modules so i need to apply this command on freebsd   :
modprobe ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1


Thank you

freebsd has no "modprobe"
the equivalent is "kldload"
available modules are the .mod files likely under /boot/modules ( anyway under /boot )

regarding parameters, they can usually be applied with the sysctl command. the list of supported parameters ( if any ) will be available from the man page of the driver ( same name as the card without the trailing digits )

not sure what allow_unsupported_sfp does but i'm unsure you need it or should tune it in the driver on a freebsd machine. this seems to be a copy-paste from a linux tutorial that may apply differently or not at all on freebsd
are you expecting anything more ?
