I have a doubt on how do we get the configuration parameters like = setting the transmit descriptors,recevice decriptors,also some driver = specific tunables at load time of the driver module. Is there any call where the driver module can read that and populate the = variables in the driver(like Space.c in sco or unixware). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sumanth ------=_NextPart_000_0754_01C108A9.98FA72D0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.3315.2870" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> we are writing a nic driver = for =20 ethernet card in freebsd 4.3.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have a doubt on how do we get = the=20 configuration parameters like setting the transmit descriptors,recevice=20 decriptors,also some driver specific tunables at load time of the driver = module.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Is there any call where the driver = module can read=20 that and populate the variables</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>in the driver(like Space.c in sco or=20 unixware).</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Any help is greatly = appreciated.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Sumanth</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML> ------=_NextPart_000_0754_01C108A9.98FA72D0-- --------------InterScan_NT_MIME_Boundary-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
