I have just merged the driver to RELENG_6. Here is detailed
changelog:

If everyone avoid using RELENG branch, it won't get any more stable.
Subseqently the releases (that are cut from RELENG branch) will get
less testing, and thus will be less stable.

Hi Gleb

Thanks for you work.
I will test this on a small freebsd based router with an averrage of
300mb/s in the next few days.
Should I test anything special? Where should I see most of the
improvements compared to 6.1 Release? (less interrupts without polling?)

Cheers,
Thomas

 You need to update your system to fresh RELENG_6. The driver
 will not compile on 6.1-RELEASE.

 Then you need to run the following sequence:

 cd /usr/src/sys/dev/em
 fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~glebius/em-6.0.5.RELENG_6.patch.gz
 gunzip em-6.0.5.RELENG_6.patch.gz
 patch  em-6.0.5.RELENG_6.patch

 and then rebuild your kernel and reboot.

1 out of 73 hunks failed--saving rejects to if_em_hw.h.rej

I'd send to .rej file but Opera9/Gmail is plotting against me. It's
seems to just be the Intel copyright notice that that failed ti
merge... I'll try sending it later.

Sounds good,
I will have to wait till 6.2release before using it, Stable just isn't 
as stable as it used to be.

I look forward to em benchmarking.
