netgraph with 10Gig interfaces

[sivakumar.subramani at wipro.com]

Hi Mark,

I have bge and fxp interface on the system. I enabled the NETGRAPH by
enabling the NETGRAPH in the config file and compiled the new kernel.
Then, booted with the new kernel.


fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        inet6 fe80::290:27ff:fe85:8b8c%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet 17.1.1.150 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 17.255.255.255
        ether 00:90:27:85:8b:8c
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
        inet6 fe80::2e0:81ff:fe29:f38d%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
        inet 10.114.52.152 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.114.52.255
        ether 00:e0:81:29:f3:8d
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

Even then I could not see the above interfaces listed in the output of
the list command of ngctl.

+ list -l
There are 2 total nodes:
  Name: ngctl1088       Type: socket          ID: 00000007   Num hooks:
0
  Name: <unnamed>       Type: eiface          ID: 00000004   Num hooks:
0
+ list -n
There are 1 total named nodes:
  Name: ngctl1088       Type: socket          ID: 00000007   Num hooks:
0
+


But as per the document in the below link it is mentioned that network
interface by default should be listed in the output.

Is that means these drivers are not supporting the netgraph?

Thanks,

That's what I thought.  Is there anything I can send along that
would be of use, such as ngctl output with debug on?
