I saw ixgbe in the source tree and would have tried it, but I found that 
no kernel module is built for ixgbe on RELENG_7.  Neither is the device 
listed even as a comment in any stock config file.  This and the lack of a 
manual page led me to believe it wasn't available.

It may be that more than just the man page remains to be merged.  When I 
add "device ixgbe" to the GENERIC config and try to build a new kernel I 
get:

In file included from /usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c:39:
/usr/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.h:87:21: error: tcp_lro.h: No such file or 
directory
mkdep: compile failed
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

Is there any hope of seeing ixgbe fully merged into RELENG_7 soon, or is 
my best bet to switch to CURRENT?  Thank you all for your help.
