- /etc/firmware/myx-eth_z8e
- /etc/firmware/myx-ethp_z8e

CAVEATS
While the firmware supports reading module information for
ifconfig(8) transceiver to use, it does not
support writing to the module. This prevents configuration of the module,
which may prevent ifconfig(8) from reading the right data from the module where
other network cards succeed.
