To properly test this I need the proper hardware as PCIe network cards: bge(4) Broadcom BCM57xx/BCM590x bce(4) Broadcom NetXtreme II (BCM5706/5708/5709/5716) igb(4) Intel PRO/1000 i82575, i82576, i82580, i210, i350 If you have one of these and can spare it I'd be very glad if you could send it to me. I'm located in Switzerland/Europe. I can reply to you privately to give you my shipping address. Of course if you have any other PCIe Gigabit Ethernet cards with a driver in FreeBSD I'm interested in receiving one as well. Of particular interest are: em(4) Intel i82571 to i82573 lem(4) Intel i82540 to i82546 age(4) Atheros L1 GigE ??? anything else 1GigE with PCIe The same goes for 10 Gigabit Ethernet but the setup is a bit more involved and I haven't done that yet, but will do soon (the issue being expensive SPF+ optics): bxe(4) Broadcom BCM5771x 10GigE cxbge(4) Chelsio T4 10GigE ixgbe(4) Intel i82598 and i82599 10GigE mxge(4) Myricom Myri10G qlxgb(4) QLogic 3200 and 8200 10GigE sfxge(4) Solarflare Many thanks for your support! -- Andre
