Today I updated kernel & system on one of my machines (FreeBSD
7.0). After the update which ran absolutely smooth I'm seeing spurious
messages both on the console and in /var/log/messages like the
following:
no toe capability on 0xc2e66400
Grep-ing through the sources I found the above message to come from
/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_offload.c. As far as I understand this has
something to do with TcpOffloadEngine.
Please note that this is a box several years old (2GHz P4) with three
Intel FXP FastEthernet-cards.
So here are my questions:
o) Has anybody else seen the above messages?
Yes, same here on a VIA motherboard with a vr interface.
o) Can they safely be ignored?
Looks like it. They're debug messages that shouldn't still be in there.
They were removed in version 1.2 but then reappeared in 1.4.2.1:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/tcp_offload.c.diff?r1=1.1;r2=1.2
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/tcp_offload.c.diff?r1=1.4;r2=1.4.2.1
Thanks for locating the source of the problem. I entered a PR (#126138)
but forgot to put in a pointer to your message--and now can't, since the
PR database claims #126138 doesn't exist. I'll try again later.
