Subject:   4.x-stable(~ June 8) fxp driver and KAME problem
Message-ID:  <394957C4.3AAA628A@gordian.com>

I was trying to get KAME working on 4.x-stable box and ran into some
problems.  In searching for answers I came across this little note in
the release notes for the latest(20000613) KAME snapshot.  It claims
there is a problem with fxp driver.   Is this a known problem?  Is there
a fix for it?

- FreeBSD/Openbsd/BSDI Intel EtherExpress Pro driver has some problem
with
  the initialization sequence KAME is using.  This is because these
  drivers use interrupts for multicast filter setup, and KAME code calls
  multicast initialization code in splimp() or splnet(). 
  It is not KAME problem, it is problem in drivers.  These drivers
should
  be corrected not to use interropts in initialization sequence.

  KAME/FreeBSD: fxp driver, no workaround available.
  KAME/OpenBSD: fxp driver, workaround is in KAME tree (sys/net/if.c)
  KAME/BSDI3: exp driver, status unknown
  KAME/BSDI4: exp driver, workaround is in KAME tree
(sys/i386/pci/if_exp.c)

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!
