Hello,
I am a novice to the FreeBSD kernel and as my first foray into kernel
development, I have the unfortunate task to port a driver from Linux
into FreeBSD. The driver was originally a port from DOS (ack!).
Anyways, I'm porting a network driver/protocol and have run into a
problem with understanding mbufs and their usage. I am unclear as how
to convert a standard, linear buffer, into an mbuf chain (and vice-versa)
appropriately.
Since what I am doing is a gross HACK and has no real advantage to readers
of this group, I would appreciate direct contact at tholmes@zeus.leitch.com
Thanks in advance for the help.
Tony Holmes
