mxge(4) is our first 10G driver. It is lightly tested at the moment and
some of the fancy features (Receive-side scaling, TCP segmentation
offload, Large receive offload, Jumbo) have been turned off. I can get
speeds >1G in netperf, but the results are *very* variable (ranging from
700+ Mbits/s to 1900+ Mbits/s). I'll see if I can track it down.

Porting this driver from FreeBSD was possible because the Computing
Systems Laboratory at the National Technical University of Athens
provided access to the hardware. sephe@ has been helpful as always.
