Hi Chuck, Thanks for a very nice analyzis. I can personally add one item to your list: If the adaptec card is in a dockingstation, it will not probe correctly unless a powercycle is performed. I've given up on figuring out why (heisenbug, whenever I tried to reproduce it worked fine, whenever I was in a hurry it failed, sometimes also after several powercycles), and plugged that particular machine on a 100mbit ethernet instead. >based on that, i believe that it may be worthwhile to look at the >driver/upper-layer interface differences between the two systems and >seeing if the two interfaces can be merged so that both HARP and >BSDATM can share lower level drivers. This is basically the point I'm most interested in because of the influx of 25.6Mbit ATM based ADSL stuff we are starting to hear about. I would hate for us to have two drivers for every single atm device out there... Wrt, ALTQ I'm informed that no matter what IPV6 FreeBSD choose, ALTQ will be part of the packet at this time, so I think that will be sorted out at that time. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
