Hello,

I have two questions about the ixgb driver.

I saw it supports [1] some oldish Intel 10g cards. Do you know if it
might support more recent ones? (such as specifically: 10g XF SR [2]
or NetEffect SFP+SR [3]).

Also, when i registered on this list about a year ago, there had been
a thread on replacing a cisco 6500 with OpenBSD, and there were mixed
views at the time about how OpenBSD would perform in serious 10g
traffic [4]. So if anyone has experience about such a setup (and
hardware recommendations), I'd love to hear from them.
