Maintenance for this driver will be continued by= the=20 > community.=20 The in-tree kernel driver is based off of the 7.6.1 source. Since Intel wi= ll no longer update their out-of-tree driver, it seems prudent to integrate the final 7.7.8 source changes into the in-tree source code for FreeBSD 14 so t= hat it has time to be tested by the community and then continue to evolve as needed. I am unsure how this might affect the igb(4) driver, which seems integrated into the existing in-tree em(4) code. Intel appears to still be supporting this driver independently, the latest being igb-2.5.21. If I had to take a guess, the igb(4) source may need to be split out from em(4) and put into i= ts own subdir under /usr/src/sys/dev so that it will be easier to track the upstream copy as-needed, while the em(4) driver evolves based on community changes. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
