Thank you. I've got a test patch at bsd-nomads mailing list, and it also uses ivars. I'll test it today. > Actually, that reminds me that I do need to fix if_sn_pccard.c in a > similar way... To enable if_sn, MAC address was stored in ATTR2 field as hex-encoded string. PAO uses "ether attr2hex" in /etc/pccard.conf. Are there better naming of this function? Currently I think that "ether attr2" is better (it's simple). -- --------------------------- Tatsumi Hosokawa hosokawa@itc.keio.ac.jp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
