Message-ID: <20020709102153.A14126@kasilof.boi.hp.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Greets All: during the 4.6rc era i recall there were issues with intel ether pro and fxp drivers, particularly with smp boxes. Searching pr's i note there are numerous open issues as well. in the past the fbsd nic mantra has always been "intel ether express". Is such still the case with the 82559 based nics (e.g. pila 8460), or should I be looking elsewhere? Note that one of my boxes is a dual pii 450 on a bx board.
