Thanks for the drivers, but at work we have some issues w/ the driver on an HP Blade. We could do some basic pings, but when trying to pass DNS traffic, it failed. Turning off both rxcsum and txcsum made the driver work. If I only turned one or the other off, DNS traffic would still not work. This is with 9.0-BETA2. The device: bxe0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x7058103c chip=0x165014e4 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe' class = network subclass = ethernet Do you need anything else to help diagnose the issue? Thanks for the help and the driver! -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
