Hello everyone, I am trying to tweak some of the sysctl tunables for the ix (ixgbe) driver in FreeBSD 9.2 since I am experiencing less than ideal performance and it seems like I can't find any: # sysctl -a | grep -i ixgbe device ixgbe I am running 9.2-RC4. Any input appreciated. Thanks, -- Rumen Telbizov Unix Systems Administrator <http://telbizov.com>

Hi, I noticed that network connection of one of my boxes got significantly slow just after upgrading it to 8.0R. The box has an em0 (82547EI) and worked fine with 7.2R. The symptoms are: - A ping to a host on the same LAN takes 990ms RTT, it reduces gradually to around 1ms, and then it returns to around 1s. The rate was about 2ms/ping. - The response is quite slow, but no packet

For those that may have run across the story on Slashdot about this NIC, here is our statement: Recently there were a few stories published, based on a blog post by an end-user, suggesting specific network packets may cause the Intel? 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller to become unresponsive until corrected by a full platform power cycle. Intel was made aware of this issue in September 2012 by

I'm having problems getting PF + ALTQ to work on em(4) interfaces under 8.0-RELEASE. Kernel was rebuilt with the additional options necessary for ALTQ and what not. Same basic configuration works fine under 7.2-RELEASE. Basically, the queues create successfully but running a pfctl -vsq shows a zero packet/byte count for all queues, even the interface's root queues. This same problem is

At this point, I've been through 4 AMD64 motherboards. Commonly, AE_BAD_CHARACTER stops ACPI (or apic?) from figuring out the system --- this has happened on 3 out of four boards. On this latest board, it can turn off APIC. If I do that, FreeBSD hangs after detecting the disks. The only "wrong" thing on the screen is module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (amr_linux,

Hi all, I moved from 8.0-RELEASE to last week's -STABLE: $ uname -v FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Thu Sep 2 16:38:02 SAST 2010 root@XXXXX:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC and all seems well except my network card is unusable. On boot up: em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.0.5> port 0x3040-0x305f mem 0xe3200000-0xe321ffff,0xe3220000-0xe3220fff irq 10 at device 25.0 on pci0 em0: Setup

Anyone running 7.1 and using E1000 hardware that has the time, I would appreciate any testing you can do. This has an important fix for SuperMicro servers but any regression test of the code would be helpful. Backup the contents of /usr/src/sys/dev/e1000 and then overwrite with this tarball. Send feedback to me, Jack
