# For more information on this file, please read the config(5) manual page,
# and/or the handbook section on Kernel Configuration Files:
#
#   
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html
#
# The handbook is also available locally in /usr/share/doc/handbook
# if you've installed the doc distribution, otherwise always see the

The question is:
-----------------
Why there are so much interrupts?
Why the card is using only one intr on second port (ix1)?

I've got another server with 82598EB 10 Gigabit AT CX4 Network Connection
and the situation on it is dramatically different:

Tuning on both systems are almost the same
As You can see, 82598EB card produce about 20 times less interrupts at about
10 times more pps.

Please help me to fix the problem...
