Realtek 8180 support

2003-07-15 Thread Sander Buskens
I was wondering whether anyone is working on support for the Realtek 8180 chipset. This chipset is used on various wireless PCI and PCMCIA cards (I bought one and then found out FreeBSD doesn''t support it yet). Regards, Sander Buskens ___ [EMAIL

Hello, I did some changes in my patch to FreeBSD kernel. I have changed my pr, and the new one is 54383. Now, only the diff is on the FreeBSD page. Take a look. If somebody knows who is the devel man, that can help me to add this patch as a new feature in FreeBSD kernel, please tell me. I

Hmmm, What we observed on our embedded system is the packet gets sent on all attached interfaces, with dest IP 255.255.255.255, and a src IP of the local address that has the default route. If there isn't a default route, sending to 255.255.255.255 fails with no route to host. Maybe I am

Kernel tuning for large maxsockets

2003-07-15 Thread Scot Loach
Currently, whenever maxsockets is increased, this causes kernel memory to be preallocated for each type of pcb (tcp, udp, raw, divert). The number of pcbs preallocated for each of these is always the same as maxsockets. This is probably a waste of memory for raw sockets and divert sockets, since

Hi Bill, Sorry for the previous e-mail, but have in mind that I'm trying to cooperate by testing your drivers and I am not aware of the rules for declaring a hardware problem in the mailing lists. The only way I can send you the messages from the kernel is if I rewrite them from the console. Here
