If you have bce(4) interfaces PLEASE help us to test them, the simplest way of doing this is to sync your code with RELENG_7 and rebuild kernel. [1] For those who can't test this under 7-STABLE environment, I have extracted corresponding files here: http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/misc/193358.tar.bz2 Once can extract the tarball over /usr/src/ in order to overwrite your files, this should be applicable for a 7.2-RELEASE system. Known issues that this should have resolved: - "PHY write timeout!" when you can find "ukphy" in your dmesg output, some blade servers [Dell T610?] may have this, in particular; - incorrect input traffic accounting. (netstat 1 would show larger input traffic); - under heavy load there might be some data corruption; Please let us know if these changes would bring any regressions, thanks a lot! [1] Please note that, because bce(4) is part of GENERIC kernel so you may need to do a full "make kernel" instead of just rebuilding/installing corresponding kernel module.
