This is a shortcoming of the ed driver, since the Linksys : cards have 32K of memory. That's interesting. I'll have to look at this more closely. I have two of the dlink based cards (The linksys and the netgear fa410). : The patch below fixes a small bug in the ed driver that causes only 8K : instead of 16K (as normal for 16bit cards) to be used. However, full : support for the Linksys cards should really be added to the ed driver. The : code in http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=12088 looks promising, : but doesn't apply cleanly due to bitrot. This patch has been added to -current. However, there are some issues with it that preclude its MFC for 4.3. It should be MFCd after these issues are resolved.
