Last I checked somebody was developing an experimental driver and Marvell had just released the code to their FreeBSD 5.x/6.x driver: mykbsd60x86-8.12.2.3.tar (bindary kmod package) mykbsd60x86-8.12.1.3-src.tgz (source code)
I can confirm that this (mykbsd60x86-8.12.1.3-src.tgz) package compiles and attaches OK to both of built-in LAN controllers on the ASUS P5W DH motherboard under mid-August RELENG_6: myk0: <Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Ver. 8.12.1.3> port 0xa800-0xa8ff mem 0xff7fc000-0xff7fffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3 myk0: Ethernet address: 00:17:31:ee:d1:aa myk1: <Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Ver. 8.12.1.3> port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xff8fc000-0xff8fffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci4 myk1: Ethernet address: 00:17:31:ee:d8:7f Data transfers (at least in media auto-detect mode) also work OK both in 10/FULL and 100/FULL mode (haven't tried 1000 yet).
Has checksum offloading or the performance problems been fixed? Has Marvell updated their driver? Is someone going to commit Marvell's driver to -CURRENT? And what's happening with the experimental driver?
So I've got 2 questions: 1. Has situation with this driver improved somehow (is somebody going to support it and commit into the CURRENT)? 2. What kinds of performance problems / stability issues should I expect with the driver in it's current state under 6-STABLE?
