Folks, i have two requests for you: 1. please do not complain about questions on this list related to a core network-related FreeBSD subsystem (netmap, dummynet, netgraph, tcp stack...) even if they are concerned with ports to Linux or other OSes or to userspace. At least in principle, these topics _are_ relevant here precisely because they relate to code whose main home is in the FreeBSD source tree, and bugs or feature suggestions etc that may emerge will directly benefit FreeBSD. 2. on the other hand, it would be good if people could avoid questions like "give me step by step instructions on how to install/run/use X". There are notes in README and Makefiles, something on the web pages, and quick web searches should point you to previous mailing list discussions on the same topic _before asking_. So in the specific case below i can understand a reply (perhaps a private one) saying "have you done your homework (read documentation, do a web search) ?", but "we only do FreeBSD here" does not sound right to me. cheers luigi On Sun, May 18, 2014 at 02:23:29PM +0200, XXX wrote: > > I am using Fedora 18 with Intel 82599 NIC. > .............^^^^^^^^^ > > Ask on a Linux/Fedora list then.
