+
+    <body>
+      <p>The <tt>ix</tt> and <tt>ixv</tt> network interface drivers
+      support a variety of Intel network interfaces, with line
+      speeds at 10 Gbit/second.</p>
+
+      <p>This quarter, the drivers gained support for the X553
+      network interface, which is found on System-on-a-Chip devices
+      based on the Denverton platform.  This update should allow
+      &os; to be more useful on a new class of hardware
+      platform.</p>
+
+    <p>Work is also underway to convert these drivers to use the
+      <tt>iflib</tt> network driver library, which should ease
+      future maintenance of the drivers, as well as the network
+      subsystem as a whole.</p>
