OK, I take it back. I don't think it is a signed versus unsigned issue, though I still think it is dangerous the way atapi_read mixes them. I've been trying to follow the two pr's (kern/31530 and kern/31460) to see if the panics they're getting were related to the problem I reported earlier. I

Well, having followed this thread for some bit, I gotta throw my $.02 worth in.. I'm one of those who has machines connected via a "dumb" 10baseT hub, and auto everything doesn't work. I think the whole point is that a certain amount of knowledge is required *before* one should attempt to build a

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it kind of strange that auto-sensing/auto-negotiating must be enabled on both sides for the feature to work a bit strange? At home, I have a Netgear FS116, a 16-Port unmanaged switch. It is auto-sensing/full-duplex 10/100Mbits/sec switch. Therefore, we
