I have a doubt on how do we get the configuration parameters like = setting the transmit descriptors,receive decriptors,also some driver = specific tunables at load time of the driver module. Is there any call where the driver module can read that and populate the = variables in the driver(like Space.c in sco or unixware). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sumanth ------=_NextPart_000_01A1_01C121CF.71474E90 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.3315.2870" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> we are writing a nic driver = for =20 ethernet card in freebsd 4.3.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have a doubt on how do we get = the=20 configuration parameters like setting the transmit descriptors,receive=20 decriptors,also some driver specific tunables at load time of the driver = module.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Is there any call where the driver = module can read=20 that and populate the variables</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>in the driver(like Space.c in sco or=20 unixware).</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Any help is greatly = appreciated.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Sumanth</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML> ------=_NextPart_000_01A1_01C121CF.71474E90-- --------------InterScan_NT_MIME_Boundary Content-Type: text/plain; name="Wipro_Disclaimer.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Wipro_Disclaimer.txt" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information transmitted by this E-MAIL is proprietary to Wipro Limited and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
