</links>
<body>
<p>The <tt>ix</tt> and <tt>ixv</tt> network interface drivers
support a variety of Intel network interfaces, with line
speeds at 10 Gbit/second.</p>
<p>This quarter, the drivers gained support for the X553
network interface, which is found on System-on-a-Chip devices
based on the Denverton platform. This update should allow
&os; to be more useful on a new class of hardware
platform.</p>
<p>Work is also underway to convert these drivers to use the
<tt>iflib</tt> network driver library, which should ease
future maintenance of the drivers, as well as the network
subsystem as a whole.</p>
