Hello,

according to illumos HCL (https://illumos.org/hcl/) several variants of
BCM57840 are supported by the 'bnxe' driver. Not sure about the 'S' in
'BCM57840S'.

Make sure you have the driver present on the OS. Perhaps it's just that
your ID is not identified by the driver? See the current list:
