You mean I assume a patch for STABLE because the changes are
integrated into CURRENT :)
The em driver that now is in 6.2 BETA 3 DOES have TSO support in
it BTW, its just #ifdef EM_TSO which isnt defined.
For right now the only way to get the kernel patch you need is to pull it
out of the official Intel tarball. I just looked and the Intel website now
DOES have my 6.2.9 driver available to download. Go to:
downloadfinder.intel.com
On the left select network connectivity, then server adapters, then pick one
(I dont know that it matters which). You will get a pulldown menu, select
FreeBSD and the next screen should have the new driver at the top.
When you untar the thing there is a patches directory, and in that is a TSO
patch, I have not applied it against BETA3 but it should apply.
You will then need to compile the em driver with that defined.
I expect this will be MFC'd before 6.3.
Good luck,
Jack
