Hello,

I have a dual 10Gbps Ethernet LAN Card using QLE3242 and I=E2=80=99m trying=
 to use it at pfSense based on FreeBSD.
However, I=E2=80=99m facing errors and unable to use it. The log is:

ql0: qla_hw_send: (nsegs[1, 42, 0x0] > Q8_TX_MAX_SEGMENTS)

After searching the Internet, I=E2=80=99m thinking the driver for QLE3242 i=
s broken on FreeBSD 10.

The following link is from FreeNAS bug tracker. The issue is about Ethernet=
 card with QLogic 8214 failing at FreeNAS 9.10.
https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/14925
The original poster says it was OK when using FreeNAS 9.3, which is based o=
n FreeBSD 9.3 but it was broken when using FreeNAS 9.10, which is based on =
FreeBSD 10.3.

The next link is from FreeBSD forum, also showing similar symptom. The OP t=
ries to use HP NC523SFP, the card with QLE3242.
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/52033/
The OP is using the version of pfSense based on FreeBSD 10.1.

The next link is from FreeBSD mailing list, also with the same symptom. The=
 OP also using HP NC523SFP.
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2014-February/037840.html
The reply says the same driver on FreeBSD 9.0 doesn=E2=80=99t show any prob=
lem.

Mine and those three cases all use qlxgb driver, the driver for FreeBSD for=
 these chips.=20
And it seems the driver worked before FreeBSD 10.x, but it wasn=E2=80=99t o=
n FreeBSD 10.x.

Would you help me solve this problem?

Sincerely,
MJ Kang.
