>>Intel 82575EB (and friends) are *the* premier ethernet controllers to >>use with FreeBSD in a server. igb should be the most stable and >>supported driver in the whole kernel. I can't think of any other driver >>and series of controllers I would rather use in a server like this. Well, the good NIC is no good at all without good driver, sadly, it's the case with stock igb driver shipped with FB. I hate to say this, but igb driver sucks, there're many obvious issue in the code like wrong DMA allocation etc. You just have to re-write completely to get igb work, i.e., to support msi-x with multiqueue. >>If the drivers for these chips are now "bad", this is a very sad day for >>people who wanted to use FreeBSD in their dual socket servers. Either stick to em or re-write the igb driver. It's just funny that everybody keeps quite on this, is it too difficulty to let people know it's the known issue with igb driver?
