No committed plans to update bxe(4) to support BCM57712 or=20 BCM578XX at the moment. If you have a near term need for 10Gb=20 controllers on this platform you'll need to select an alternate rNDC=20 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=20 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 Dave
