The FEC works for me doing the following on 4.5-STABLE: # cd /usr/src/sys # tar -zxvf <path-to-download>/fec.tar.gz # cd modules/netgrah/fec && make install # kldload ng_fec.ko # ngctl mkpeer fec dummy fec # ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"fxp0"' # ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"fxp1"' # ngctl msg fec0: set_mode_inet then it usually needs a "ifconfig fec0 up" to start moving packets. Uplink is to a Cisco 3534 with the two ports setup with "port group 1 distribution source", using "distribution destination" gives me countless duplicates obviously because the same mac-address is on both interfaces. I also added the mac-address to forward to both interfaces using "mac-address-table static" With this setup the max throughput from one remote machine is the capacity of one interface, but that is enaugh for me. /Oli Þann 27.
