Hi all,

I'm setting up a system with 4 NIC's, 2 igb and 2 bce.  I plan to deploy it
like:

Switch-VoIP - igb0 bce0 :: HFSC - 65mb/s-Radio
Switch-LAN  - igb1 bce1 :: HFSC - 1000mb/s-Radio

Where the traffic flow is typically igb0 <--> bce0, igb1 <--> bce1.

With reference to the patch on https://bugs.freebsd.org/
bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213257 (Crash in IGB driver with ALTQ), am I
correct in understanding I can:

Enable ALTQ in the kernel and use HFSC on the bce NIC's.
Not enable ALTQ_IGB and use the igb's without any altq's, running igb1 at
full speed.

I would apply this on 11.2 RELEASE and use ipfw.

2nd Question: Any issues running em's at full speed with HFSC?  The other
side of that radio bridge has igb's right now and I'd like to drop in a
2-port low profile PCI (

)

Any thoughts most welcome, thanks -- lee
