+Aquantia (now Marvell) AQtion devices are multi-gigabit PCIe Ethernet controllers supporting speeds up to 10 Gb/s.
+They are found on workstation and desktop motherboards, and add-in NICs.
+
+Aquantia published a FreeBSD driver for its first-generation "Atlantic" controllers, but it was unmaintained for some time.
+FreeBSD developers contributed some fixes to the vendor's repository, but several pull requests were never addressed.
+The driver was available in the ports collection as package:net/aquantia-atlantic-kmod[], with some additional patches, but it was not part of the base system and lacked support for newer devices.
+
+Ed Maste imported a snapshot of the vendor driver, applied patches from unmerged pull requests and the port, wrote an man:aq[4] man page, and connected it to the build.
+
+Since then, Nick Price added support for the second-generation Atlantic 2 (AQC113) controllers, and has made extensive fixes and improvements throughout the driver.
+These include enabling jumbo frames, software LRO, and suspend/resume; correcting RSS queue distribution and honouring the kernel RSS policy; expanding and fixing checksum and VLAN offloads and VLAN/multicast filtering, hardening the attach, detach, reset, interrupt and RX/TX paths; handling PHY thermal shutdown; and improving diagnostics and link-state reporting.
+
+The driver is available in -CURRENT snapshot images, and has been MFC'd to stable/15 to be included in FreeBSD 15.2.
