Oh for crap's sake.
Some days I really, _REALLY_ hate FreeBSD.
I need to insure that DPC thread 0 runs on CPU 0, and DPC thread 1
runs on CPU 1, and so on. There are supposed to be separate DPC
threads for each CPU. Unfortunately, you can't specify a CPU
affinity when you launch the thread, and obviously you can't
do it during the device probe phase during bootstrap since only
CPU 0 is running.
I really don't have the right solution for this right now. What
you _SHOULD_ do is stop loading your NDIS driver during boot. Instead,
take it out of /boot/loader.conf and load it with a boot script
after the system has gone multiuser. If you do it then, both CPUs
will be running.
I'm not sure of the correct solution for this problem. I have to
think about it. In the meantime, just wait to load ndis.ko, if_ndis.ko
and your_driver.ko after bootstrap.
