Thanks for the good job. > Please try latest attempt to fix re(4) issues. http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/if_re.c http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/if_rlreg.h This one is attempt to fix the following bug reports on re(4). - VLAN tagging does not work on multi-fragmented frames. - Non-working/instability on re(4) hardwares that uses MSI. - Unconditional VLAN tag stripping without respect to ifconfig configuration. - ENOBUFS on transmitting UDP frames under heavy network loads. - DAC does not work. This one removed previous checksum offload hack for checksum offload on PCIe hardwares so I'm not sure checksum offload still work on PCIe hardwares. Please test and let me know how it goes. Also make sure you have all hardware features enabled.(checksum offload, TSO, VLAN hardware tagging etc). -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
