Those are the files that I fetched from p4 /usr/src/lib/libpmc/libpmc.c - rev2 /usr/src/sys/amd64/include/pmc_mdep.h rev2 /usr/src/sys/dev/hwpmc/hwpmc_x86.c rev2 /usr/src/sys/modules/hwpmc/Makefile rev3 but I rebuild only kernel - I'll try to rebuild everything :) do you think this will help getting hwpmc working? Btw I have hwpmc working on other machine (it's with FreeBSD 6.3-prerelease). Can you tell me what stats exactly you need from running hping? -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
