Duh, I may be late on this (I just caught up 1200+ messages in -commit/-current/-hackers), but last time I tried parallel IP (PLIP) between a -current (early june) and a 2.1, the -current systematically paniced (when initiating any serious transfer, i.e. ftp). I sent in a PR and posted kernel traces in -current, and I haven't gotten any feedback since -- sorry if I missed some sublte commit that might have fixed the problem. -- Phil -- +-------------------+---------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Philippe Regnauld |_______Herve Schauer Consultants_______| regnauld@hsc.fr | +-------------------+FreeBSD - Turning PCs into Workstations+-----------------+
