Just a side note; the Realtek driver isn't entirely up to date. The chip has evolved quite a bit with it's current RTL8139C(L)+ revision and now can do things like descriptor-base buffer management (one of the major shortcomings of the first revisions and what wpaul was bitching about), VLAN tagging, checksum offloading and some other stuff. I haven't looked at the mys driver source but if that supports these new features (which probably make this new chip rev fly) it should be integrated also for if_rl. -- Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
