[OmniOS-discuss] SolarFlare SFXGE with OmniOS

[Doug Hughes]

With non-debug driver:
9.71 gbits/sec inbound
8.54 gbits/sec outboudn

512k tcp window size. same 10g switch stack, but I can't guarantee that
it's not traversing the stack 40g link between the two stack members. one
side is a Sol10U10 box, the other is this x4440 running OmniOS.  Both have
Solarflare cards setup in LACP to the switch stack.

I'd say this is ok to release/bundle!

(I'd be happy to volunteer a sfxge.conf for this, also we should use the
Solaris postinstall or a variant of it to do the correct add-drv and
driver_aliases stuff.)
