| Chelsio told me they had Solarish drivers, I haven't ever personally tested them. Solarflare had a 10GbE Solarish driver which they released at one point under CDDL without much engagement, and has recently been proposed for mainline inclusion with support for their 40GbE adapters as well [1]. Mellanox explicitly does not have any Illumos support for newer chips and my understanding is that they have not been receptive to any queries from the community. [2] [3] Intel's 40g parts didn't arrive before my day job stopped involving high-speed networking every day, but their 10G stuff, as you say, worked relatively consistently across different platforms (though Illumos had some fun with the first few 10G HW revs after they started pulling common code). I'd guess Intel's 40G parts were either a last blip or a first gasp of attempting to integrate their high-speed Ethernet bits and the "Intel Omni-Path Architecture" bits that are descended from their QLogic IB purchase.
