It's been a humiliating experience- I'm just not that hot with Network drivers as I spend most of my time in mass storage. This chipset is, uh, interesting too (as best as I can tell, any transmit decriptor of less than 60 bytes in length is either ignored or sent out with a frame error). And because I'm less experienced in doing NIC drivers, I'm sure folks will say, "You did WHAT? Why did you do that?"... So, I have some other items to take care of, but I plan to put this out for testing in a couple of weeks (slipped my original schedule, didn't I?).. Just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten and dropped it on the floor... -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
