They were removed in version 1.2 but then reappeared in 1.4.2.1: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/tcp_offload.c http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/tcp_offload.c.diff?r1=1.1;r2=1.2 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/tcp_offload.c.diff?r1=1.4;r2=1.4.2.1 Thanks for locating the source of the problem. I entered a PR (#126138) but forgot to put in a pointer to your message--and now can't, since the PR database claims #126138 doesn't exist. I'll try again later. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
