I didn't think that ixgbe(4) still suffered from this problem, and we use it in the same situations rstone mentioned above. Indeed, ixgbe(4) doesn't presently suffer from this problem (you can see that in your patch, as it is only effectively changing the other drivers), though it used to. It looks like it was first fixed to not to in r280182. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
