No committed plans to update bxe(4) to support BCM57712 or BCM578XX at the moment. If you have a near term need for 10Gb controllers on this platform you'll need to select an alternate rNDC adapter when you order the system. I posted a request on freebsd-jobs last month looking for someone who would be interested in the work if you can recommend someone. Not all of the documentation required for the effort is publically available so an NDA will likely be required to do the work. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jobs/2012-August/000809.html Davehome | help
