I upgrade to 7.0RC3 but still the same. 418Mbit is the roof.

older fbsd's are faster than newer.

How are the nic's connected to the cpu?

lspci -v

Kind regards,

    ... nesting is bounded by the complexity of the hardware and the number of busses, and the maximum memory-allocation is strictly limited in the single-threaded case this could allow 64-way systems to probe all their hardware an order of magnitude faster than today without noticeably impacting an embedded system even in the absolute worst case. ... probing as a series of "work elements", and you end up with a queue of work elements that threads can pull work off one at a time. ... This would make it possible to have independent pci.multithread_probe=1 and scsi.multithread_probe=1 arguments so the sysadmin can force serialization for one subsystem if they don't have their device- numbering issues with that subsystem entirely sorted out. ...
