Is his explanation on > target? there are (if i remember well) a couple of bits to manage the flow control settings on the card. i seem to remember that toggling one of them does prevent these packets from being generated by the peer. However, in the end they do not seem to have any effect on performance so i do not think it is something we need to set. The patch is almost surely out of date, the newer fxp driver already has fields for the flow control bits, so it is just a matter of setting or clearing them. I don't remember the details though. cheers luigi > Thanks, > > Charles > > -- > Charles Sprickman > spork@inch.com > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
