Can you briefly explain (to start)? As to sysctls, not available until after driver loading: I believe that I need to know, before I reach the end of my attach routine, whether I'm going to be in a LAN mode or a WAN mode, so I know whether to do an ether_attach() or an sppp_attach(). So does that rule out sysctls? Thanks, Gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
