Sounds good! We're using the code here with 5 x fxps in our firewall, and the load on the box is ridiculously low (0.1 on average). We had it running with 2 x DFE 570-TX for a total of 8 ports, but whatever we tried (including activating polling) the cards would still go into buffer underrun, and eventually lock up. Until we were forced to switch to fxp, we had an ifconfig down/up to unfreeze the cards every 5 minutes just in case :-| I must say I'm not really convinced about the D-Link cards...
