I added these to my kernel:

options         HZ=1000
options         DEVICE_POLLING

and then added this to /etc/sysctl.conf:
kern.polling.enable=1

I rebooted and sysctl does show polling enabled
and the nic's report it as well (bge):


bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         options=5b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,POLLING>
         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
         status: active

bge1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         options=5b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,POLLING>
         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
         status: active

Does this show its 'working'?
Is there any way to test or verify this?

Thanks :)
