Hello,

I need to develop or obtain a NIC firmware update utility for the Fortville=
 (XL710, ixl, i40e) 10G/40G NICs.  Intel has such a utility, but it is Linu=
x only, and available as a binary only.

I tried running the binary on FreeBSD 8.4 using Linux emulation; however th=
e binary is 64 bit, and therefore not supported by Linux emulation.

Word on the street is that one FreeBSD shop was able to develop a firmware =
update utility based on Intel documentation.  Can anyone comment?  Is anyon=
e willing to provide information, even source code?

Also, is there a more focused mailing list for Fortville on FreeBSD questio=
ns?

We are a FreeBSD shop, using 64 bit FreeBSD 8.4 in our embedded product.

Thank you,

SteveJ
