An SFP+ single mode module alone costs ~20€ at least. Add to that a PCIe extension card and you're way over the cost of copper.

You probably have to enable it in sysctl

Sure, but why do you not clean up that alarm last used 4 years ago for a specific one time thing.

Cat 5e has 8 wires just like any later standard. There's nothing stopping you from trying a faster speed on it.

ISPs in Switzerland offer up to 10 or 25Gbit over fiber.

But even within a LAN it really allows using a NAS for anything, not just slow access data.

Not sure if they provide official drivers for FreeBSD. Intel is usually a safer bet in that case.

Great to (maybe) see 10GbE coming and the initial price sounds reasonable compared to currently avaipable 2.5G and 5G Realtek adapters.

Apparently Linux 6.16 will have the driver included.

Realtek itself has demonstrated its RTL8127 NIC working with an unknown switch using cheap CAT5E cables, and the company’s representatives at the booth emphasised this fact. However, we do not know which switch or router the company used. Yet, most 10GbE routers and switches are designed for CAT6 cabling.

Funny update about the cabling they used during the demo. There's really no reason Cat 5e couldn't work for short enough distances with little interference. It's more about the guaranteed minimum distance you can get, 55m with Cat 6 and the full 100m for any rating beyond that.

You're deleting everything but root, so not needed.

That's where you're wrong

You should watch Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. It's just great

--force-grab-cursor broke with 3.16.4 and is fixed again with the latest version.
