X-BeenThere: freebsd-net@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Networking and TCP/IP with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 03 Aug 2006 05:50:53 -0000 Hi list, Is there any interest or plans underway to port the trunk(4) feature from OpenBSD? OpenBSD's trunk(4) appears to be exactly what I'm looking for, but there doesn't appear to be anything I can find on a port to FreeBSD. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=trunk&sektion=4 I've been tasked with setting up a system that will have 2x Intel Pro/1000 network adapters linked to an HP ProCurve 5300XL modular switch. I stumbled across ng_fec(4), but it refers explicitly to Cisco Fast EtherChannel; some information suggests that this is supported by the HP switch... would using Netgraph with ng_fec achieve the same end result? Has anyone successfully used it as such? Cheers Antony
