We seem to have some issues they are. 1. How do we add a muticast address, is there any application which can = generate a set of multicast address which can be added to the driver. 2. How do we load the driver at boot time. we figured out two ways one is put in /usr/src/sys/pci and then rebuild = the kernel. Since the previous procedure was not the requirement for our client so = the other approach was put the driver in rc.local call kldload here. Other than the above mentioned approaches is there any other way to load = the nic card driver at boot time. =20 3.Also is there any test suite to test the network card driver = functionality. Any help is greatly appreciated.
