thanks Luigi and Jack!
I also solved the question by doing
grep -ir 82599EB /sys/dev
and it found the ixgbe driver - may the src be with you :-)
My point - not well expressed - was the the manuals had little/confusing
info.
iconfig:
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAG
IC,LINKSTATE>
...
them
man 4 re
RE(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual RE(4)
NAME
re - RealTek 8139C+/8169/816xS/811xS/8168/810xE/8111 PCI/PCIe Ethernet
adapter driver
or
nfe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=c219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WO
L_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE>
man 4 nfe
NFE(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NFE(4)
NAME
nfe - NVIDIA nForce MCP Ethernet driver
etc, etc, etc.
no man ix, no mention of /dev/ix%d in man ixgbe
Q: does the copper (10G Based T) version work?
cheers,
danny
