We are using 8.1-PRERELEASE now with the 2.2.0 ixgbe driver and
have several problems. The setup is:
FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE ixgbe --- UTP -- Arista 7120T -- UTP -- 10G Linux
<==========================================
receiver: iperf -s -u -B 10.0.1.1 -l 63K -w200K
sender: iperf -u -i1 -t 120 -c 10.0.1.1 -l 63K -w200K -b 10000M
MTU is 9000 on all interfaces. Flow control is on.
This is /var/log/messages on the receiving FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE server:

So, it's receiving 182477 packets per second, only 1 good packet and
182323 missed packets (btw, this does not count up correctly).
What could be a reason for missed packets? It seems to be a counter in
the NIC?
After half a minute or so, the ix0 interface stops responding.
ifconfig ix0 down/ifconfig ix0 up makes it reachable again.
How can I debug this further? Any other statistics?
I set ixgbe_display_debug_stats to 1 in ixgbe.c and recompiled and
installed the kernel. Is there a better way to get these statistics?
The server is a Dell PowerEdge T610.
