The nxge(4) driver for the Neterion Xframe-I and Xframe-II 10GbE adapters has obvious bugs (by inspection) and it doesn't appear the company exists any more. We'd like to see if there are any significant users of this device and plan to remove it from FreeBSD-12 if not. -- Brooks -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Looks like Exar bought them for some of their tech and killed off the Ethernet products. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman at gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
