--CuugMFkClbJLl1L7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Guido, I saw you ported this driver from OpenBSD to FreeBSD. Do you see any chance to bring driver support for this card in ? I have a customer machine here to build up some virtual webservers and such ... ;-) But I only have a small time scale. today and possibly tomorrow. Otherwise I would have to tell the customer to choose another card.

If I go into single user mode and type in the ifconfig command manualle, then the kernel spits out out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers Well, actually this was a custom kernel with maxusers already set to 256.
