Hello Garrett,

We ran the following tests on a Tyan S3992-E motherboard 
(http://www.tyan.com/product_board_detail.aspx?pid=517):
- Installed OpenSolaris build 89.
- Activated the bge driver.
- Verified whether ICMP ping, ftp, HTTP and NFS work fine over the bge 
interface.
- Verified whether VLAN works fine on the bge interface.
- Verified whether no more packets were lost than for other interfaces on the 
same network for 300 MB/s ICMP traffic between the interface and a Linux system 
(ran the following command on the Linux system: for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do ping -s 
30000 -f 10.100.92.1 -c 10000 -q & done).

Bart.
