It does work in 12, throughput is great, just that the latency is higher =

than 11.

Yes I do, but it includes all of GENERIC which includes em drivers,=20
otherwise it wouldn't even work with the network card.

my custom kernel:

include GENERIC
ident=C2=A0=C2=A0 CUSTOM
makeoptions WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=3D1
options TCPHPTS
options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=3D(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)
options IPSTEALTH

options=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT=C2=A0 # =
Print register bitfields in debug
device cryptodev
device aesni

I did try without RACK just in case that was the culprit.
