At some point in the future I plan to contribute this patch to the FreeBSD source tree (4.3 or later).

When you have the code ready post it here, if one of the network gurus doesn't respond I'll get it to one of them. As far as inclusion in the source, having patches for -current will have to come first, if you also have patches for -stable that would be a bonus. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance, I'll try my best. best of luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
