Not saying things like that don’t happen. But how much effort (or money) do you think it would have taken to fix this issue if the NIC firmware was open source? And with standard hardware, depending on the model, you might have had the option to add dedicated PCIe NICs for example. Not great, but at least something. Now try that with something proprietary (as in non-standard) like this Oxide system.
