It is not currently available. I have written some basic support
for this, and have tested 2 links with a Cisco 2916XL switch.
Basically I defined a 'cec' device that can be attached to ethernet
interfaces.
e.g.:
# ifconfig cec0 create
# ifconfig cec0 channel fxp0
# ifconfig cec0 channel fxp1
# ifconfig cec0 inet n.n.n.n
...
I was able to get around 140Mbit/s between my server with 2 x fxp
and two clients with 1 x fxp. I haven't looked at it in the last
month or so because of moving, and having most of my machines in
storage. (including the one with the code) :-(
