Hi,

I've been suspecting my NIC is not up to par and notice this in the logs every few minutes;

Aug 16 08:05:06 prometheus kernel: mxge0: slice 0 struck? ring state:
Aug 16 08:05:06 prometheus kernel: mxge0: tx.req=1914503981 tx.done=1914503810, tx.queue_active=0
Aug 16 08:05:06 prometheus kernel: mxge0: tx.activate=0 tx.deactivate=0
Aug 16 08:05:06 prometheus kernel: mxge0: pkt_done=1824019832 fw=1824019931
Aug 16 08:05:06 prometheus kernel: mxge0: Watchdog reset!
Aug 16 08:05:06 prometheus kernel: mxge0: NIC did not reboot, not resetting

Could tis be effecting throughput?

My card is a Myri-10G-PCIE-8A

I did install the Myrinet dev tools for FreeBSD and ran myri_info which yields;

pci-dev at 05:00.0 vendor:product(rev)=14c1:0008(00)

Any insights are appreciated.
