But has anyone chased down what > happened to the vx driver? The vx0 driver was relegated to being the driver for the 509 and 595 series NIC's. The xl0 is the replacement driver for the 90X series cards and is to be used instead. All support for the 90X cards has been removed from the vx0 driver. The xl0 is a far superior driver and there is no reason to continue using the vx0. The only problem with this driver is that some ppl did not realize that it came out and did not know to change their kernels and rc.conf files. The performance has to date been flawless. -Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
