Hello,

> Yes, it's me. I'm still alive.
It's great to hear that one of the most talented FreeBSD hackers is back
in business :)

Does this means that you can afford some time to investigate the problems
regarding your old software?

I mean ng_fec primarily, because I couldn't get help in the past few
months/years(?)...

You may know, or not it is now part of FreeBSD, the only problem is that
it does not work.

I filed a PR (kern/46720) about a month ago, but haven't gotten too much
response back. On these lists I think there is a consensus (search the
archives :) that the FEC implementation is a good thing.

Another problem, which I faced years ago that if you want to use .1q
tagged packets on a FEC interface, it just does not works.

There are more verbose details on these lists too.

Are there any chances to get these fixed?

Thanks in advance!
