When exactly is the FIELD bit updated in the status register ? There will be random latency before the code gets into the location where the "evenness" is queried, and if (most likely) the bit is updated somewhere near this time, it can cause described behavior ? It can vary against other activity with the same ipl, was bktr using NET_IMASK ? A test run with floodping on, and another with no... I wonder if use of splq() and IMASK_MISC would be proper for sound/video/etc ? Juha To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
