Hi,
I see the man pages mention the odd SM fibre NIC, which is a good start.
However I could do with some real-world feedback from people in terms of the SM
NICs they're using and any other experiences with SM on OpenBSD.
Thanks !

There shouldn't be anything different, OpenBSD doesn't care about the
media so much as the controller, and so long as the controller isn't
doing anything different (Not that there is a reason for the controller
to do, at least form the OS's side of the controller), there shouldn't
be any difference.
I am using a bunch of Intel 10 Gb NICs running on OpenBSD with various
SFPs plugged into them and I haven't seen any difference in operation
between SM and MM SFPs other than a different media showing up in the
ifconfig output.
