Thanks for everyone's input. I ended up buying a Chelsio 420-CR. It works well, and with all four existing 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules I had lying around. I won't need the the performance offered by netmap in the foreseeable future (at which support for it may exist), so that was not critical. I had tried Intel first, which resulted in this saga: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2013-June/035709.html. I have not yet tested the SFP+ modules in the Intel card with -CURRENT, because I'm not ready to upgrade the machine in question to -CURRENT. Aside from allowing a wider variety of SFP+ modules in 9.x, the Chelsio card also has the benefit of supporting hot-plugging of SFP+ modules. -Boris On 07/24/13 16:26, Boris Kochergin wrote: > Hi. > > I am looking for recommendations for a 10gbps NIC from someone who has > successfully used it on FreeBSD.
