Author: sbruno Date: Fri May 11 17:26:59 2018 New Revision: 333499 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/333499 Log: vxge(4): deprecation notice This hardware isn't totally ancient, about equal to a mxge(4) or mlx4en(4), but the company was sold to Exar which then promptly exited the Ethernet business so the card was commercially available for under 2 years. On deep search, the only usage of these cards I found was by the importing of the driver. There are code quality issues identified by Brooks and Hiren and no visible use nor maintainership that warrant removal from FreeBSD 12.0.
