Today I connected a new server to our storage system which has 3 ixgbe = cards so 6 ports and is freebsd 9 based. Then I have noticed that the link is missing and the free ports were = missing from ifconfig. Checking the dmesg revealed the problem. ixN: Hardware Initialization Failure SPF+ module missing *narf* It's the same bug as this PR = http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org/msg00213.html Thanks and have a good day, -dennis
