Hi,

I'd like to install a Chelsio T320 10GE Adapter in one of our systems
running 7.2 (AMD64).

As far as I've read FreeBSD comes with the drivers for this beast
(cxgb(4))already.

Can the corresponding interface be configured with "ifconfig" just
like any other interface?

Anything special to consider?

Update for firmware needed - if yes, can it be done directly from
FreeBSD?

Thanks much in advance for any clue,
-ewald
