hello, i'm a little bit confused about if_baudrate. from system headers #define if_baudrate if_data.ifi_baudrate and u_long ifi_baudrate; /* linespeed */ so, i'm taking this as if_baudrate really should be an interface line speed in megabits per second. am i correct? if so, then it appears that at least some drivers lie about true line speed. for example from ixgbe(4) ifp->if_baudrate = 1000000000; it looks like its order of magnitude lower (i.e. 1 gigabit per second instead of 10 gigabits per second). am i missing something here or its just a typo? thanks, max
