If you have jumbo packet functional tests, I'll gladly run it on some
r200 machines we have in the lab with bge(4) cards sometime in the
next couple of weeks. If not, I'll have to produce the tests which
will take longer. I'll see whether or not some of the test code in
http://wiki.freebsd.org/VictorBilouro/TCP-IP_regression_test_suite
addresses this.
