Synopsis: Ethernet driver if_vr.c (VIA Technologies) State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: johan State-Changed-When: Mon Aug 14 11:40:58 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: From rev 1.28 of this file "Move code to handle BPF and bridging for incoming Ethernet packets out of the individual drivers and into the common routine ether_input(). Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers in the ip_fw code. The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers. The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing lists." Please try the bridging in FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE (it has been MFC:d) and report back if it works with this driver. Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->archie Responsible-Changed-By: johan Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Aug 14 11:40:58 PDT 2000 Responsible-Changed-Why: Archie will be interested in the feedback and this is also a MFC to 3.x reminder. If it is not possible to MFC maybe you can apply the suggested patch for 3.x. Forget the MFC part this has benn fixed in rev 1.7.2.4. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=15206 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
