Re: 25/100 G performance on freebsd

I think Benoit may be referring to this bug?
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=265207

From that, it looks like his cards are QLogic ones that use the qlnxe
driver. As for who would know what to do about that ioctl issue, I don't
know. I'm not sure if the driver has an active maintainer.
