That driver appears to have a hard-coded list of PCI IDs that it''ll
deal
with, coded in ixgbe_set_mac_type().  I don''t see the new 8086,150b
listed, so AT2 probably won''t work.

I recommend reporting it as a bug (bugs.opensolaris.org or
defect.opensolaris.org), and contacting the
driver-discuss at opensolaris.org mailing list for more detailed help.
(For what it''s worth, the Mercurial history lists Samuel.Tu at Sun.COM
and
Paul.Guo at Sun.COM among the folks who''ve modified it somewhat
recently.)
