Here’s the revised request formatted for a GitHub issue:

Description:

This is a feature request to add driver support for the Aquantia AQC113 and AQC113C Ethernet controllers in FreeBSD. These devices are widely used in modern high-performance networking scenarios, and adding support would enhance FreeBSD's hardware compatibility for servers, NAS systems, and workstations.

Current Behavior:

The devices are detected by the system but show no driver attached when checked via pciconf or dmesg .

when checked via or . The aquantia-atlantic-kmod driver does not currently support the AQC113 family.

Example pciconf -lv output:

none3@pci0:7:0:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1d6a device=0x14c0 subvendor=0x1d6a subdevice=0x0001 vendor = 'Aquantia Corp.' device = 'AQC113C NBase-T/IEEE 802.3an Ethernet Controller [Marvell Scalable mGig]' class = network subclass = ethernet

Expected Behavior:

The AQC113 and AQC113C devices should be recognized and functional under FreeBSD, with support for the advanced features these controllers offer, such as NBase-T and 10GBase-T networking.
