With the release of 4.2 I thought I would check again to see if the
vpn1411 still fails with 'Corrupted MAC on input' on a Soekris net4801.
I am happy to say that I can no longer reproduce the error using the
GENERIC kernel.
In the past I could pop up the error within minutes using this simple
script:
---
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
cat /var/log/messages
done
---
Last night after about 10 minutes my ssh window was still happily
spitting out text, so I opened up four more windows and ran an instance
of the script in each window. Eight hours later and there was not a
single failure.
I was curious if something was recently changed in the Hifn driver. CVS
shows that there were two patches put in in the last six weeks, but
neither of those are in 4.2. The latest release of OpenBSD appears to be
using version 1.152 of the driver, which has been in use for 16 months
as far back as OpenBSD 4.0.
Does anyone know if this was intentionally fixed, or is this an
unintentional byproduct of code being cleaned up somewhere else?
