hi, there! I have made second attempt to implement Arcnet support for FreeBSD (the first was made about two years ago and nothing was ever committed) Current bits can be fetched from http://iclub.nsu.ru/~fjoe/arcnet/ In order to use them you should copy dev/, net/ and modules/ to /sys and apply patches from diffs/ if you are running -current or from diffs-stable/ if you are running stable. The most important part is changes to FreeBSD ARP stuff to support link addresses of length != 6 bytes. Both the driver for SMC 90Cx6 adapters and ARP stuff were ported from NetBSD. At this time I tried to make changes to if_ether.c less intrusive (it is not direct port of NetBSD's if_arp.c). The driver is interoperable with Linux Arcnet drivers and works in RFC1201 and RFC1056 modes. I get about 200K via FTP between -stable and -current machines and now trying to build XFree86 3.3.6 on NFS-mounted ports tree. Any feedback is HIGHLY appreciated.
