Hello Jack, I'm wondering if you have any thoughts with regard to the expected timeframe for MFC of commit *203049* <http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=203049>; to RELENG_8? With igb NICS we're seeing flakiness with link-state handling... and I'm worried that we could fall victim to problems others have seen when putting the NIC under load. Would you happen to have a version of the patch that is ready for RELENG_8? (we'd actually be applying it against RELENG_8_0, as that's what we're currently bundling with our product). I do note that you made a few other minor fixes in the week or so following -- should these be in the picture as well? Any help or advise is appreciated. The system in question is based on the Intel S5520UR motherboard... the NICs are on-board (_not_ PCI-card-based). During boot, the NICs are detected as shown below. At boot the NICs will always show link-state as being active, whether or not a cable is plugged in. igb0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection version - 1.7.3> port 0x3020-0x303f mem 0xb1b20000-0xb1b3ffff,0xb1b44000-0xb1b47fff irq 40 at device 0.0 on pci1 igb0: Using MSIX interrupts with 3 vectors igb0: [ITHREAD] igb0: [ITHREAD] igb0: [ITHREAD] igb0: Ethernet address: 00:15:17:b4:cf:e4 igb1: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection version - 1.7.3> port 0x3000-0x301f mem 0xb1b00000-0xb1b1ffff,0xb1b40000-0xb1b43fff irq 28 at device 0.1 on pci1 igb1: Using MSIX interrupts with 3 vectors igb1: [ITHREAD] igb1: [ITHREAD] igb1: [ITHREAD] igb1: Ethernet address: 00:15:17:b4:cf:e5 Thank you, Charles -- Charles Owens Great Bay Software, Inc.
