Hi Jonathan, I was a bit reluctant to test it as, as you said the person probably never tried it and I didn't know where this patch came from ?
I'll try again next week against obsd 5.4 and keep you informed Thanks, Romain -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Gray [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: jeudi 24 octobre 2013 11:20 To: Aviolat Romain Cc: [email protected]; Junod Antoine; Ganguin Michel Subject: Re: Intel 82580 Fiber PCIe adapter On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 08:01:50AM +0000, Aviolat Romain wrote: > Dear openbsd users, > > I'm trying to install an Intel 82580 dual port SFP PCIe adapter in obsd 5.3 > amd64.

I suspect the person who asked never tried the patch so it didn't go in. Try it and let us know if it works.
