Hi, is there anyone using the wavelan driver in FreeBSD ? I was trying to apply bridging patches to it but noticed the driver is a bit weird e.g.: * it loads the ethernet header outside the mbuf, then plays tricks to put it back in for bpf use; * it uses a mbuf cluster to hold the packet, but then allocates more regular mbufs if the packet does not fit into the first one (i suppose you can configure the wl card to use packets larger than 2KB...) i need to straighten this a bit for bridging support but don't have the card to test things, so if someone has the card and time to test the changes please contact me. thanks luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
