I was wondering about the fiber version and not the copper.

Hi,

Anyone have any experience with 10G NICs from Netxen - Fiber and  
OBSD 4.x?

I don't see under the supported NICs list.

Thanks


Parvinder,

By searching in the usual places I found the following:

I went to the misc@ archives and searched netxen and got the  
following result:

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=117685930328686w=2

The want page lists 10Gig ethernet as an area of development  
currently:

http://www.openbsd.org/want.html

And the man pages for -current list the 'nx' driver, but not 4.4 :
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nxapropos=0sektion=0manpath=OpenBSD+Currentarch=i386format=html

And CVS shows that nx is no longer in the tree:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/Attic/if_nx.c

As for the hardware itself, I have no experience with it.
