Hello, I just might have an opportunity to setup a Gentoo System using 10 G ethernet (fiber). The .39 kernel lists this hardware [1].
Does anyone have any experience with this hardware? Does it work? Did you make any bandwidth measurements? What type of fiber (mulimode/singlemode) (ST/SC) did you use? Any comments? Is the kernel a bottleneck or your application? --- Ethernet (10000 Mbit) Chelsio 10Gb Ethernet support Chelsio Communications T3 10Gb Ethernet support Chelsio Communications T4 Ethernet support Chelsio Communications T4 Virtual Function Ethernet support Cisco VIC Ethernet NIC Support Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support Intel(R) 82599 Virtual Function Ethernet support Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support Exar Xframe 10Gb Ethernet Adapter Exar X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe Server Adapter Myricom Myri-10G Ethernet support NetXen Multi port (1/10) Gigabit Ethernet NIC Sun Neptune 10Gbit Ethernet support Mellanox Technologies 10Gbit Ethernet support Tehuti Networks 10G Ethernet Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb support QLOGIC QLCNIC 1/10Gb Converged Ethernet NIC Support QLogic QLGE 10Gb Ethernet Driver Support Brocade 1010/1020 10Gb Ethernet Driver support Solarflare Solarstorm SFC4000/SFC9000-family support ServerEngines' 10Gbps NIC - BladeEngine
