The ix and ixv network interface drivers + support a variety of Intel network interfaces, with line + speeds at 10 Gbit/second.

+ +

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.

+ +

Work is also underway to convert these drivers to use the + iflib network driver library, which should ease + future maintenance of the drivers, as well as the network + subsystem as a whole.
