 New Revision: 254085
 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/254085
 
 Log:
   Cap the number of streams supported to two for now.
   
   I haven't yet reviewed the Intel driver(s) in more depth to see if
   there are 1x1 NICs that report they support 2 transmit/receive chains..
   if so then we'll have to update this.
   
   Tested:
   
   * Intel 4965, which is a 2x2 device with 3 RX and 2 TX chains.
