Have you tried if_rum ?

--HPS

Hi Hans Petter,

I haven't but hope to soon. It's not in 6.2 so I installed a 7 snapshot but in the
meantime the device is out on loan. However it is the same as this one
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-September/076684.html
so I guess I can expect panics.

btw did you cc me? Otherwise I probably lost your reply in a combination of spam and webmail and have only just seen the archive. Apologies if so.

Thanks

Chris
