Wasn't Jack Vogel (Intel?) only talking the other day about

The "New driver coming soon" thread on current / net.

I'm talking about what is in the tree in the moment. I'll have to
withhold judgement on ix until we can actually use it. With luck he'll
have time to adapt it to FreeBSD. There are a number of other 10GigE
drivers cards that are "supported" by FreeBSD, but they take the linux
shim approach and tend to be 3x slower.

Note that even on Linux, many of the other 10GbE NICS don't offer the
same line-rate 10GbE performance that the Myricom and Chelsio adaptors
do.
