Re: cvsup syntax questions... and what's the difference between branch and release tags?

2003-09-11 Thread Val Smith
Why did you add the _0_RELEASE at the end of your src-all, ports-all and doc-all tags? FWIW this is what I use for 5.1 Release and never had any problems except I occasionally change the mirror name if the connection seems bad with one in particular: *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default

Re: 3c905b-tx not working

Rather odd. I ONLY use 3c90x NICS on all my machines (FBSD 5.x included) and they work great. What output do you get from running /usr/sbin/ifconfig at the command prompt? You didn't specify whether you were running the GENERIC kernel but I assume this is so. When you installed (assuming you

PMTU discovery?

2003-07-17 Thread Val Smith
Hi, I have a quick question and hope it isn't too newb :) Does FBSD support PMTU discovery on ethernet interfaces and, if so, how is it enabled? I've looked in the man pages for both ifconfig and xl but could only seem to find reference to manually setting MTU, not autodiscovery. I know how to

Re: Sound oddity in FreeBSD 5.1
