+      <p>Building on the new in-kernel iSCSI target and initiatior
+	stack released in FreeBSD 10.0, Chelsio Communications has
+	begun developing an offload interface to take advantage of the
+	hardware offload capabilities of Chelsio T4 and T5 10 and 40
+	gigabit Ethernet adapters.</p>
+
+      <p>The code currently implements a working prototype of offload
+	for the initiator side, and target side offload should begin
+	shortly.  The code will be released under the BSD license and
+	is expected to be completed later in the year and be committed
+	to FreeBSD-HEAD, and will likely ship in a FreeBSD release in
+	early 2015.</p>
