Hi there, We think it's time to switch from two GiGE bce cards to 10GiGE. According to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/hardware.html the 10GiGE cards listed below are supported on amd64. Anyone has personal experience using any of them them? Should I prefer drivers that support DEVICE_POLLING (actually, only ixgb as per "man polling")? I'll try to find out from the manufacturer how their own models differ from each other (all this LR/SR/CX4 stuff). Thanks. [i386,amd64] The ixgb(4) driver supports the following cards: * Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter * Intel PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter [i386,amd64] The cxgb(4) driver supports 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the T3 and T3B chipset: * Chelsio 10GBase-CX4 * Chelsio 10GBase-LR * Chelsio 10GBase-SR [i386,amd64] The mxge(4) driver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Myricom LANai Z8E chips: * Myricom 10GBase-CX4 (10G-PCIE-8A-C, 10G-PCIE-8AL-C) * Myricom 10GBase-R (10G-PCIE-8A-R, 10G-PCIE-8AL-R) * Myricom 10G XAUI over ribbon fiber (10G-PCIE-8A-Q, 10G-PCIE-8AL-Q) [i386,amd64] The nxge(4) driver supports Neterion Xframe 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters listed in http://www.neterion.com/how/pricing.html.
