Also the igb driver was split off the em driver specifically to make
it easier to support the newer cards Intel is making, and it actively
maintained by an engineer at Intel with intimate knowledge of both the
cards (with access to the guys who design them) and FreeBSD kernel
guts.

If you're having an issue with one of these cards, post to the freebsd
hardware/hackers lists and you'll certainly hear from him.
