I've got an A10Networks Thunder TPS 4435 Network Appliance with 16 SFP+ Ports that are connected to one Broadcom network chip. In the original software, the interfaces are detected. But I've removed it from the disk so I can't check which driver it uses for the NIC.
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04
This is the lspci output:

Loading the bnx2 kernel module does nothing and I can't find anything about a Broadcom b844 Chip. Has someone got any hint on this?
Thanks in advance.
