I was mainly interested in the ixgbe comments linked above, which mentioned some discussion about either enabling or disabling flow control. We enable flow control by default (but provide a mechanism by which a hung or unresponsive host will not lock down the network indefinately), and I was wondering if the flow control discussion would be relevant to our NIC.
