Hi, i tried setting the mtu on one of my ixgbe(4) intel NICs to support jumbo frames. This is on a box with RELENG_8 from today.
# ifconfig ix0 mtu 9198 I then get the following error: # tail -n 1 /var/log/messages Apr 14 12:48:43 siloneu kernel: ix0: Could not setup receive structures I already tried the following patch because of Jack Vogel's advice given in the following thread on -stable in Oct. last year, which still produces the same error message and leaves the box unpingable: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-October/059541.html # cat ~/patches/ixgbe.num_queues_to_4.patch --- /root/.vimbackup/ixgbe.c~ 2011-04-12 22:14:27.000000000 +0000 +++ sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c 2011-04-12 22:14:27.000000000 +0000 @@ -273,7 +273,7 @@ TUNABLE_INT("hw.ixgbe.hdr_split", &ixgbe * number of cpus.
