https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230465 --- Comment #30 from Vincenzo Maffione <vmaffione@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Charles Goncalves from comment #28) Good. I'm not surprised this works, because ixl in FreeBSD 12.x is implemented through iflib, and netmap in this case uses iflib to access the hw (and iflib must work, otherwise you would not be able to use an ixl NIC using the traditional networking tools and applications). You can change the number of queues, slots and many other things through the generic iflib configuration tools. See iflib(4). On the other hand, ixl in FreeBSD 11.x is not implemented through iflib, so it is a completely separate code. And netmap is broken there, unfortunately. I notified the maintainers at Intel. They said the would have taken a look to this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
