To be honest with you I cannot detect an increase in throughput, but I haven't measured it, so it may be better. I can probably try to test that some time tomorrow. However, the biggest problem I had with this NIC and sk(4) is that I would get watchdog timeouts; the NIC would not go completely down, as it happens with some people, but it would go down for a few seconds and come back up by itself. That hasn't happened with your driver, at least not yet. It typically happens at least once a day, so this is a good sign that it hasn't happened so far. > > # uname -a > > FreeBSD smogmonster.local 6.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p2 > > #0: Fri Jan 13 23:13:57 MST 2006 > > krinklyfig@smogmonster.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL60 i386 > > > > # dmesg | grep sk > > skc0: port 0x9000-0x90ff mem > > 0xec000000-0xec003fff irq 17 at device 4.0 on pci1 > > skc0: Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev.
