[OmniOS-discuss] Want Intel 40GbE NIC driver for Illumos

[Guenther Alka]

hi
I saw this discussion at the illumos-dev list

I am very interested in the new drivers for Intel X550 and XL710.
I have a switch (HP 5900) with QSFP+ and have ordered some XL710-QDA1 
adapters for some testings.

Any Eta for these drivers in Illumos/ OmniOS beta?
