Hello, I posted the same question on freebsd-questions list but did not get an exact answer, so, I'm going on with my "research". :)
I'm trying to keep very close touch with 6.1_STABLE cvsupping sources once a week or even more often. I'm thinking of removing as much as possible devices from the kernel loading them from /boot/loader.conf instead, so I could rebuild and install them without a whole kernel/world rebuild and reboot when sources change. I'm not sure this is a correct way, any piece of advice regarding this would be highly appreciated. :) So, I've successfully done that with sound and network card drivers, but did not succeed with removing bpf from the kernel. Booting a kernel with no bpf support, and with ng_bpf_load="YES" in my loader.conf [which, I found on the questions list that is not what I need], the pflogd fails to start with this error: Nov 11 20:22:33 uxterm pflogd[10251]: Failed to initialize: (no devices found) /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory Nov 11 20:22:33 uxterm pflogd[10251]: Exiting, init failure And, tcpdump also fails saying that "no suitable device found". Of course there is no /dev/bpf0. Is there any way to have the bpf0 device without booting a kernel with bpf device included? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
