OTOH, Broadcom also has a commiter on staff who helps to maintain FreeBSD drivers (David Christensen - davidch@). There is a bxe(4) driver in 9.0 and later (albeit missing a manpage) which supports some Broadcom 10G NICs: BCM57710, BCM57711, and BCM57711E. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ 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"
