I just found this posting through a Google search and I couldn't find a
followup or further information.  Thus, for the sake of anyone else
searching for this: this error comes from ctfconvert(1), when converting
debug information for a struct or union ("sou") which has more than 1023
members.  It looks like the 1023 limit is an inherent limit in the encoding
used by CTF; there's no constant that can just be increased as a workaround.

The error causes ctfconvert(1) to terminate, so the corresponding source
file will end up with no CTF data and hence dtrace will not work correctly.
 It looks like vxge_hal_mrpcim_reg_t is the only struct that triggers this
error, so the impact is limited to 16 files in the vxge(4) driver
(Exar/Neterion X3100 10GbE).

You can avoid this issue by building a kernel with the latest aac(4)
driver from RELENG_6/RELENG_7/HEAD, but you're probably better off
just using arcconf instead of aaccli.

This is missing functionality in the aac(4) driver.  For now about
the best you can do is regularly poll the status using Adaptec's CLI
tool "arcconf."

Yes, the problem is that your local-route option overrides the previous
one each time, so only the last one takes effect.  You need to put them
all together as a single option, probably like

option local-route 
18:c0:A8:65:0a:01:02:0d:18:c0:A8:67:0a:01:02:0f:00:0a:01:02:7f;

and the same for the Windows code 249 version of the option.

As of FreeBSD 6.3 dhclient supports RFC3442, the classless static route
option.  If your DHCP server is including this option but not encoding
the default route using the option you'll have no default route.

Quoted from RFC 3442:

This is my guess as to what you're seeing.  If this doesn't solve the
issue for you, I'd suggest looking at the DHCP packets with e.g.
wireshark.

Asus eee (was Re: G4 Quicksilver as Web Server?)

It works, but no drivers exist for the wireless or wired Ethernet ports.
The wireless is a newer Atheros part and ath(4) should gain support for
it, but I have no idea what the timeline will be.  The wired Ethernet
is an Atheros (formerly Attansic) L2 10/100, and I'm not aware of any
concrete plans for a driver for it.

I've used a Linksys USB200M USB ethernet (axe(4) driver) with mine and
that works well.

You could instead load pxegrub and have it boot from the disk instead
of waiting for the PXE timeout.  Or, if you're willing to accept a
network-booted loader, how about just having it load and boot the kernel
from the disk?

Adaptec has a new tool called 'arcconf' that supports the newer
firmware and devices.  The interface is different to aaccli, and
it lacks a few capabilities of aaccli, but should be usable for
normal RAID monitoring.

Have a look at:
