On -current, the em(4) driver works great for me on high load. em0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x6c801462 chip=0x10d38086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller (82574L)' class = network subclass = ethernet cap 01[c8] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 cap 05[d0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit cap 10[e0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 128(256) link x1(x1) cap 11[a0] = MSI-X supports 5 messages in map 0x1c enabled ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 1 corrected ecap 0003[140] = Serial 1 002421ffffdcd321 em1@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x6c801462 chip=0x10d38086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller (82574L)' class = network subclass = ethernet cap 01[c8] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 cap 05[d0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit cap 10[e0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 128(256) link x1(x1) cap 11[a0] = MSI-X supports 5 messages in map 0x1c enabled ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 1 corrected ecap 0003[140] = Serial 1 002421ffffdcd322 Kevin _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
