Intel can only support a finite set of hardware, it is NOT a matter of it being some "Intel" part, its a matter of some SFPs that are out there DO NOT WORK, so engineering here was able to delimit, validate, and thus certify a specific set of SFPs, the software check is there to make sure that you

Your nmbclusters is very low, you list it twice so I'm assuming the second value is what it ends up being, 32K :( I would set it to: kern.ipc.nmbclusters=262144 Also, I thought you were using the current driver, but now it looks like you are using something fairly old, use my latest code which

If you go to FreeBSD 8 you will get the improved stack code, and the RX/TX queue pairs will be pinned to cpus. It should improve performance. Make sure you have enough mbuf memory allocated, try increasing the descriptors. Jack On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 3:26 AM, Invernizzi Fabrizio < fabrizio.inve
