regarding 1 Gig Chelsio SFP support

[Satendra Pratap]

Reposting on stable mailing list(FreeBSD 6.X):

 We have chelsio T304 1 Gig card which supports Fiber SFP. I have already
 asked from chelsio guys for its Driver support on FreeBSD and still
 waiting for reply. Just wondering if anybody could let me know about
 T304's Driver support on FreeBSD 6.x .

 One more question, because we use third party SFPs (finsar, picolight
 etc) so do we need to download SFP's drivers also or NIC (Ethernet MAC) vendor's
 device driver should already have that support?

Thanks,
Satendra

Kip Macy <kmacy at ...> is the maintainer of drivers for some Chelsio
hardware. If you are attempting to use the hardware on FreeBSD 6.x of
7.x then ask in the freebsd-stable mailing list, otherwise ask in
freebsd-current.
