Hello Remko,
I hope you are doing well.
So polling for these cards would work without using DEVICE_POLLING in
kernel conf?
You are saying it's deprecated, but I have 2 FreeBSD 7.0 servers with
DEVICE_POLLING in the kernel for both of them one has fxp and the
second has em.
I didn't read anything about DEVICE_POLLING deprecating in /usr/src/UPDATING.
