Realtek NIC tunnables.

[Siarap]

Is there are some new tunnables for os-realtek-re drivers? Im currently using default installation with bsd re driver. How i can list possible nic tunnables? I tried:

Code Select Expand

sysctl dev.re
And there was few of them. Nothing usefull. Installing os-realtek-re drivers changes something?

What is the actual problem you are trying to solve?

When i disabled energy efficient ethernet in intel nic with my previous x86 router i have more responsive internet and gaming. Also different flow controll setting give different bufferbloat tests results. But no problems at all currently on mentioned nic/driver. I dont know do the realtek has similiar tunnables.

EDIT: After installation of os-realtek-re vendor drivers i got this tunnables:

I dont know what they do but i dont see nothing responsible for EEE and flow controll.
But i must say that bufferbloat is slightly better with new drivers also games works slightly better. Almost forgot to say that cpu usage during speed test is lower.
