I have a few systems with Intel X520-DA2 PCIe network cards (10 Gig). The problem I've been running into is with a fresh 9.0-STABLE or 9.0-RELEAS= E install. I can't get a LACP connection established over the ix0 and ix1 p= orts. It's showing COLLECTING and DISTRIBUTING, but not ACTIVE.=20 I've noticed that older 9.0-BETA copies with the 2.3.10 ixgbe driver are wo= rking with the same switch without problems. The 9.0-STABLE that I was doing the most work with had an ixgbe of 2.3.11 After some digging around, I downloaded the ixgbe 2.4.4 from the Intel sit= e, compiled the .ko (a little editing due to the bool typdef), and now my 9= .0-STABLE systems can properly setup a LACP link over ixgbe devices. I'm sure others will run into this in time - Can we get the 2.4.4 into 9-S= TABLE?=20 Thanks.
