Jay posted one fix, got a reply where it didn't help, then posted the new patch with the following message: | I think I might have a fix for this, and for Martin's problem as well. It | appears my original patch didn't quite cover all the cases where this could | happen in ugen. | | Could one (or both) of you try the attached patch, to see if it alleviates the | problem? I guess it might not be easily reproducable for you, Bruce, but I | think Martin could fairly consistently panic the system by running a program. Unfortunately, there was only one reply to that, from 'Martin': | > I think I might have a fix for this, and for Martin's problem as well. | | Not yet, Jay :) | | I have a new panic while executing my code (this time on first call!): | panic: ugen_set_config: interface count failed | | trace still shows it's triggered by the ioctl(). | | Martin Then either I lost the thread, of the thread died a death. I sent this message to current, CCing Jay in the hope that it would jog someones memory. After all, I read someone moaning on slashdot that the SpeedTouch USB ADSL modem doesn't work with FreeBSD - with this patch it definitely does! Hopefully Jay can shed some more light on it ?
