To solve this problem I created a patch that was accepted by Linux upstream (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1b43e0d20f2d007ec4c124b0deaa848ff8d61f4a) so starting from kernel 6.9 the ixgbe driver will have 1000BASE-BX support, however VyOS uses the out of tree driver so it is necessary to backport the patch.

This results in: kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: failed to initialize because an unsupported SFP+ module type was detected. kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: Reload the driver after installing a supported module. kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: removed PHC on eth6 This patch always enables unsupported SFP+ modules as wo do anyway from the userspace but only for the first port. (cherry picked from commit ea7d59a4bf64a854be04ccf7566e1cf95d4e09a8)
