Hi! It is already several years as the "opaque ifnet" has been discussed, and almost a year since it was announced to be worked on. For now I've got a branch in svn, where some proof of concept is done: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/ifnet I've described what's going on in wiki: https://wiki.freebsd.org/projects/ifnet If you are writing/maintaining a NIC driver, you must look there and share your opinion with me. You should also look at already converted drivers and again share your opinion. At current stage I need feeling of approvement and agreement from people who write drivers, since being on my own I don't feel confident that I am doing things right. So, please look at wiki and code! P.S. Of course job of converting all drivers to new KPI is extremely heavy lifting, so any help with the project if very much appreciated. -- Totus tuus, Glebius.
