I got the new drivers in Friday afternoon for those that don't see CVS
messages.
The igb driver is for 82575 and 82576 adapters, it has multiqueue support and
MSIX, there will be more server type enhancements in that driver as I get the
time.
The em driver now will be client oriented, the latest hardware support however
is for 82574, Hartwell, which is a really nice low cost PCIE dual-port adapter,
that actually also has MSIX. This first released support for it will
use 3 interrupt
vectors, one for TX, one for RX, and Link. The hardware actually supports 5
vectors, so I am planning to add support for another RX and TX queue as my
schedule allows.
Hartwell is also the first adapter that has IEEE 1588 PTP support, the driver
provides init and an ioctl interface to use that facility, I hope we
see software
support follow on soon. This is an early announcement, I am not sure on
exact dates for availability but they should be soon.
As ever, issues and bugs should be sent to me. Cheers everyone!
I have Intel Gigabit card and FreeBSD-7.0-STABLE recognizes it as following:

It has some problem, 1000baseTX connection status almost never goes to
active in bridged mode, sometimes
it goes to active but then immediately it goes to no carrier. (The other
end is Cisco4507R, Gigabit Ethernet port)
...
em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu 1500
options=198<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
ether 00:0f:fe:82:23:db
media: Ethernet 1000baseTX <full-duplex> (autoselect)
status: no carrier
...
Any idea how to solve this issue?
Have you tried disabling speed and duplex negotiation and explicitly
stating speed and duplex like so?
ifconfig_em0="... media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
I tried it and it doesn't work.
Cisco switches have a notorious history of not being "friendly" with
non-Cisco hardware. Forcing duplex on both ends of the link (that means
on both the host side, and the Cisco side!) usually fixes it.
Tried too, doesn't work.
