You probably want to load ixgbe(4), not ixgb(4) (latter is afaik an older PCI-X version driver). The labels on the card are close to the description of ixgbe. Note, it's not in GENERIC.

Yes, its an Oplin, 82598, it uses my ixgbe driver rather than ixgb.

see ixgbe(4)


I saw ixgbe in the source tree and would have tried it, but I found that no kernel module is built for ixgbe on RELENG_7. Neither is the device listed even as a comment in any stock config file. This and the lack of a manual page led me to believe it wasn't available.

It may be that more than just the man page remains to be merged. When I add "device ixgbe" to the GENERIC config and try to build a new kernel I get:

In file included from /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c:39:
/usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.h:87:21: error: tcp_lro.h: No such file or directory
mkdep: compile failed
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.

Is there any hope of seeing ixgbe fully merged into RELENG_7 soon, or is my best bet to switch to CURRENT? Thank you all for your help.
