Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection

In my SFP port is an SFP to RJ45 copper module, it is a unbranded generic 10/100/1000Base-T, confirmed to work on Ubuntu.

>> Hi All,
>> I have recently acquired a 10Gbit PCIE Intel 85299-1SFP network card since this chipset is supported in 9front, although now I suspect the driver may have only RJ45 port variants of 85299 supported, and not SFP - hopefully I'm wrong and I'm just missing something.

>> Notably the Rx/Tx lights on the SFP port do not light up at all. Networking and the activity lights work perfectly fine on Ubuntu out-the-box, so the hardware is fine.

>> 9front does at least recognise the device exists, which is a start. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
