just have CVS-ed to RELENG_8, recompiled the kernel and loaded the
drivers em(4) and igb(4) - works! :)

i was testing them with nc(1)

server side: nc -u -l 55555 > /dev/null
client side: nc -u <server ip> 55555 < /dev/random

but the maximum i was able to get was 500Mbit/s

btw, is it correct to test it such way?
