Hi All,
   We have written a = driver for=20 gigabit ethernet card.
We seem to have some issues they = are.
1. How do we=20 add a muticast address, is there any application which can generate a = set of=20 multicast address which can be added = to the=20 driver.
 
2. How do  we load the driver at = boot=20 time.
 we figured out two ways one is = put in=20 /usr/src/sys/pci and then rebuild the kernel.
Since the previous procedure was not = the=20 requirement for our client so the other approach was put the driver in = rc.local=20 call kldload here.
Other than the above mentioned = approaches is there=20 any other way to load the nic card driver at boot time.
 
3.Also is there any test suite = to test the =20 network card driver functionality.
 
Any help is greatly = appreciated.
 
Regards,
Sumanth
