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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
