But it's a standard WaveLAN/Orinico card, which is what the wi driver is intended for? I never had to worry about any of this when I had the old white/bronze 2mbit wavelan cards, but with silver and gold cards, its been nothing but fun and games -Original Message- From: Terry

There seem to be two problematic cases. In the first, _both_ of these conditions fire in tcp_input.c: else if (++tp-t_dupacks == tcprexmtthresh) { and if (tcp_do_newreno SEQ_LT(th-th_ack, tp-snd_recover)) { yes, this is a problem because FreeBSD 4.[34 and before?] did not

hey, okay, please ignore my previous post... i sniffed around and found out that the ppp process was kill(TERM)'ed by pptp itself. wondering why this happened led to this conclusion: the pptp server is wrong configured. it's address may be `vpngw1'. it also tells `vpngw1' as peer address for

Currently, FreeBSD's implementation of RFC 1323 uses the contents of the `ticks' variable verbatim in the TCP timestamp options that it generates. This is perhaps undesirable, in that it allows the system at the other end to determine how long the system has been up. (Current versions of `nmap'
