Are you really getting a core-dump ? Or are you seeing a panic ? You need to build a new kernel with this driver included. This is no lkm-loadable driver. > Can someone give us the correct procedure to run this device under FreeBSD. You should not change if.h. You need instead to adopt if_vx.c and if_vxreg.h to work under the FreeBSD 2.1.0 release. I don't know what has changed from 2.1 to current. Some major changes are a reorganisation of the include-files. So you may need to play with that. And in the last weeks some changes for the bpf. If you can't find out the changes, maybe someone with cvs access can pull out an older release of the driver that can be more easily integrated. The first version of it entered the tree at 10/31/95. At that date it should not be very different from 2.1.
