if you can still find some, I was very happy with the DLINK DFE-570-TX

  Luigi also mentionned at the end of the discussion that it would be
  worthwhile to - besides for just keeping a pointer to the last mbuf in
  the sockbuf - keep a pointer to the last mbuf in the packet.  Maybe
  this pointer could be stashed in the m_pkthdr struct.

jlemon had an amended patch for that.
I think we should revisit this keeping in mind the tcp case as well.

  I spent a half-hour trying to dig for that thread.  Do you recall what
  the subject of it was?  When I saw this come up on DaemonNews, the
  first thing that came to mind was seeing that discussion; but now I
  can't find it through the mailing list search thing on the website.

You can't do that.  Self-connect is a valid operation on a socket.

Speaking of competition, someone should go look at this:

Re: multi-link 802.11b through netgraph yields poor performance.

2002-07-08 Thread Julian Elischer

Sorry to cross post this, I want it in the archives.


[discussion on using mulitilink acrsss wireless cards deleted]

I have done similar, using two IP channels and with mpd as the 
"one2many"

basically, assign real IP addresses to the 4 cards, on 2 separate
10.x.x.x/30  networks then open ksocket mpd nodes for each network, making
2 parallel 'pipes'.

then run mpd using the "netgraph" link type, and set up Multilink.
Multilink will round-robin forthe links, but it will also stop using a
link htat appears to have failed so you have some
redundancey:


here are my configs for this:

firstly the script that sets up the ksockets.

Best NIC at 4.6 ?

2002-07-08 Thread Frank Bonnet

Hi

I wondering what would be the best supported NIC
by FreeBSD 4.6 , I am in the process to upgrade
our mailhub and I would like to have "freebsd-net"
gurus advice on the "best" network hardware

Actually I use an Intel express PRO 10/100 
and I experienced some "lost connection" 
with the Postfix MTA , I am not sure that
is the eth board, but changing it for a
"better one" is not expensive.

Any info advice welcome.
thanks a lot.

I think it is based on the Realtek RTL8150L chip and it does not work
with aue/cue/kue driver.

I wrote the driver (url(4)) for RTL8150 chip on NetBSD, and it was
ported into OpenBSD.  But the FreeBSD is not supported yet.
If someone helps to test, I will port the driver into FreeBSD.  :-)
