Solarflare SFP+ 10Gbe cards

[asmo]

Bought a Solarflare SFN6122F off ebay for my opnsense box and it works fine with a DAC to my switch but I am not able to get a 10gbe copper module to my modem working TP-Link TL-SM5310-T (no link or activity lights) has anyone had any luck with any 10gbe modules on the solarflare cards?

SF do not like some DACs. Arista, Melanox, Cisco, worked but Molex did not.

I've tried AQS107 and S+RJ10 with Solarflare SFN8522, both weren't detected.

However, Fibermall 80m 10GbaseT module worked. This module reported itself as a fiber module.

So it's either a power draw issue, or the card only works with modules that identify their type as non-RJ45...

I missed the RJ45 part even though the 10Gbe copper was stated. My mistake. I only have fiber and DACs. I have no experience with RJ45 10Gb but I understand they do draw a lot of power.
