Hi Thomas, I am afraid I couldn't send you an url we are using. We take it from internal Intel ND repository. Though I think, that latest available to download from Intel ixgbe driver for FreeBSD should have pretty close codebase. As a rule of thumb in our internal policy: we take shared code from ND and treat it as read-only (the only exception: ixgbe/ixgbe_osdep.h). Otherwise it might become quite messy pretty quickly. To overcome some problems or shortcomings in ND code people usually use wrappers at the upper layer - that way was implemented bypass support, loopback support, plus some other fixes (reported number of queues per VF, etc). I wonder couldn't your fix also be pushed to the upper layer (in ixgbe_ethdev.c or something)? Thanks Konstantin

By the way, git is very good at rebasing such patches. And if the fix is good, it should be applied on the baseline. Refusing a fix without alternative is not an option. -- Thomas -------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Shannon Limited Registered in Ireland Registered Office: Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare Registered Number: 308263 Business address: Dromore House, East Park, Shannon, Co.
