We recently bought one:

ix0@pci0:34:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x151c8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '82599EB 10 Gigabit TN Network Connection'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
ix1@pci0:34:0:1:        class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x151c8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '82599EB 10 Gigabit TN Network Connection'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

It's currently used on 9.0 for benchmarking another box. Never had any
problems. Can someone say whether the X540 support in CURRENT is stable?

Regards, Julian
