I don't know if a way to do this on a running system, but a (likely horrible) way to pre-compile a list of drivers that support polling: grep -r 'DEVICE_POLLING$' /usr/src/sys/dev | uniq This won't give you results that you can automatically shove into a script and have it magically work, but it will give you a general idea. pluknet's idea to show the iface/driver capability bits is a good one. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
