Colleagues,
here is a patch that merges HEAD em(4) driver to RELENG_6.
First, it significantly improves perfromance of the driver
under high pps load.
Second, it adds support for few new chips.
You need to update your system to fresh RELENG_6. The driver
will not compile on 6.1-RELEASE.
Then you need to run the following sequence:
cd /usr/src/sys/dev/em
fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~glebius/em-6.0.5.RELENG_6.patch.gz
gunzip em-6.0.5.RELENG_6.patch.gz
patch < em-6.0.5.RELENG_6.patch
and then rebuild your kernel and reboot.
