According to pciconf, the card is a "82598EB 10 Gigabit AF Dual Port
Network Connection".
It looks to me like the card is plugged into a 4xPCIe slot. I'm sure
this means we're not going to make the 10Gbps but I would imagine that
we should get north of 5 Gbps.
Is there a URL to pick the latest
Use my new driver and it will tell you when it comes up with the slot speed

I think the S5000PAL only has Gen1 PCIE slots which is going to limit you
somewhat. Would recommend a current generation (x58 or 5520 chipset)

I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 amd64 on both of the the test hosts. I've reset
the configurations to system default as I was getting no where with

The motherboards have been configured to do MSI interrupts. The

When you get into the 10G world your performance will only be as good
as your weakest link, what I mean is if you connect to something that has
less than stellar bus and/or memory performance it is going to throttle
everything.
Running back to back with two good systems you should be able to get

I am running speed tests on a pair of systems equipped with Intel 10Gbps
cards and am getting poor performance.
iperf and tcpdump testing indicates that the card is running at roughly
2.5Gbps max transmit/receive.
My attempts at turning fiddling with netisr, polling, and varying the
buffer sizes
