netgraph with 10Gig interfaces

[sivakumar.subramani at wipro.com]

Hi Mark,

>>This snippet is from a script, and the variables '$if1' and '$if2'
>>are set to the interfaces.  In effect, the 'connect' lines above are
actually (for Neterion 10Gig driver):
>>ngctl connect xge0: ngeth0:lower lower many0 ngctl connect xge1:
ngeth0:lower lower many0

Can You please send me the steps/command that you used to test the
Neterion card. I means what are the argument that you gave for msg
command.

Info on how did you verify the traffic flow?

Thanks,
~Siva

No. You need either kldload ng_ether or add NETGRAPH_ETHER to kernel
config.
