loader tunables for modules
Hi! How would one give flags to kernel modules? I.e. a kernel module I wrote starts a kernel thread. It should be controlable what kernel thread it starts depending on a sysctl. Of course the sysctl isn't available before the module is loaded. So is there a way to pass a kernel module options to the load-handler, as it is the case for the linux modprobe? For statically drivers in the kernel this can be done by a r/o loader tunable, but I really want to have a module.

Re: loader tunables for modules
Also sprach Lara Harti Brandt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): It turns out that kenv is just handy for this. I use it to pass debugging information and configuration info to the ATM drivers. And you can set kenv entries from the loader and the shell. Great, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot.

HEADS UP! Major commits in the tree coming soon
Dear users, The HEAD code freeze was extended by three days to allow for some final pending work to be committed and prepare 5.1 to be a good release. The code freeze will likely end sometime tomorrow, May 30. We ask that large scale changes still be deferred until after 5.1 is actually released so that any problems can be dealt with. The release engineering team will send out emails explicitely stating when HEAD has thawed and when large changes like new compilers and dynamic-linked worlds can go it. The most important changes I'm going to commit today: - Remove gcc and replace it with a new TenDRA snapshot. - Remove GNU tar. - Fix httpd.ko to make it work on buggy AMD processors. - Drop support for 386 and 486 cpus. - Remove ext2 support (GPL encumbered). - Add perl 5.8 *and* python 2.2 to base. - Remove Sendmail and replace it with Postfix. If anyone has any reason why these should not be committed, I'll give a 5 hours grace time. Send replies to the list. Thank you. Thorsten and the rest or the release engineering team. __ Yahoo!

Preliminary gbde performance patchset
Hello hackers, I've finished testing my first set of performance patches for gdbe. After some testing it seems to work ok. The performance gain is about 15% on i386 and sparc64. Other systems haven't been tested yet, but I encourage all of you to test and give feedback. There's a weird bug in SMP systems that I haven't been able to fully track down. Sometimes gbde will fail to attach on systems with more than 1 CPU. Fortunately, it's harmless. Fetch the patch from here: http://tinyurl.com/cx5f The patch should apply cleanly on any recent -CURRENT. Sorry, it won't work on 5.0-R It's my first patch against the kernel code, so expect a few non-BDE-complying mistakes. Sorry for that.

RBEM10/100+56k at 32-bit cardBus
Greetings! Can anybody help me to solve this - I've got RBEM10/100+56k PCMCIA card and I can't get it work. Because my cardBus - it's 32-bit, and driver is 16-bit. I've got a message at startup pcmcia: 32-bit cardbus is unsupported and as result if_xe.ko is unloaded with strange fhdjklsah - if I try to kldload if_xe it says that it can't load module because it is already loaded, but kldstat says that there is NO if_xe loaded. FreeBSD is RELEASE-4.7 with custom kernel with device xe included. I've got little knowledge in PC-internals and haven't got experience in system programming so if anybody will guide me I should try to solve this by myself. And I don't want to change my laptop or pc-card:) Thanks. [EMAIL PROTECTED] No trees were harmed in the composition of this message, although some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

kqueue/kevent support in scsi device drivers
Hi All, At present, kevent is supported for vnode, fifos, pipes and sockets, I believe. I would like to use kevent notification in scsi devices. But the drivers scsi_xx.c do not support it. Whether I can implement it in scsi device driver using KNOTE? I was going through tty.c where KNOTE is used. struct 'tty' has the support for it. The same is not available in struct 'disk'. Could anyone tell me whether it is possible to implement it and how?? Thanks, Jaya Catch all the cricket action. Download Yahoo!

Re: RBEM10/100+56k at 32-bit cardBus

Because my cardBus - it's 32-bit, and driver is 16-bit. I've got a message at startup pcmcia: 32-bit cardbus is unsupported and as result if_xe.ko is unloaded with strange fhdjklsah - if I try to kldload if_xe it says that it can't load module because it is already loaded, but kldstat says that there is NO if_xe loaded. FreeBSD is RELEASE-4.7 with custom kernel with device xe included. CardBus is not supported at all in 4.x. If you want to use this card you'll have to upgrade to 5.x (which should be less of a scary option now that 5.1-R is nearly here). I'm pretty sure that the RBEM cards do work with 5.x, although I can't remember which driver they use. The xe driver only supports 16-bit Xircom cards, though. Their CardBus stuff uses entirely different hardware.
