It's not complex and easy to add polling support code but I have no idea polling on SMP really helps. At present em(4) does not work on sparc64. See http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/em.patch.0419 It's old patch but you may see the point. There is also bge(4) patch(http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/bge.patch.0908). Due to recent bge(4) changes it wouldn't apply cleanly but I think you can patch the driver manually. -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
