Hello All,
I've written a couple of drivers and would like to include them in current.
What the procedure to add new device driver to current?
Who is the point of contact?
I think, I could not commit it to the cvs tree or can I?
Thanks,
emax

All,
I've just found that read from /dev/bpfX never return EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK.
It means that when you do a non blocking read and there is no data you will
always get 0.
Does it suppose work this way?
A non blocking read from pipe return EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK if there is no data
and
pipe was opened

Hello All,
Is it possible to get access to link layer (AF_LINK) via raw socket?
kind of Linux SOCK_PACKET. It seems to me that it is not. (hope I wrong :)
I can access raw IP via socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW)
and event get access to IP header with setsockopt. But not AF_LINK :(
On the
hello all,
here is url: http://home.earthlink.net/~evmax/ng.tar.gz
these are final patches for NETGRAPH.
new features:
- new hook ``divertin'' allows to put frame back to
kernel stack.
- new control message allows to set raw mode on
``divert'' hook. raw mode assumes that we have

i know that :) i guess my questions were
1) why the same piece of code duplicated in all ``mount_xxx'' utilities?
2) if we are loading fs kernel module from ``mount_xxx'' why
we have to do it again in kernel?
if i'm not missing anything, by the time we reach ``mount''
function, fs module will b

i've been looking at ``mount_xxx'' code and have noticed "strange" thing.
all ``mount_xxx'' utilities have common part of code, like

which automatically loads some software and hardware

Hello All,
The new version of TAP driver for FreeBSD -current is available at

Changes:
- small bug fixes, code improvements and cleanup
- man page (derived from tun(4))
- if_tap module can be unloaded now (works for me, but please test it)

Does anybody knows when -current NETGRAPH changes
will be back ported to 4.X branch (if they ever will)?

Hello All,
i was working on integration of Ethernet TAP driver and NETGRAPH
and found strange thing. the problem is that NG_ETHER nodes do not
detach correctly when interface is gone. i was taking a very quick
look at it, and, it seems to me that we are missing one reference
to a node. i think it

ok :) i did not say that is an ultimate solution :) i did
not even say that they are good :) the only idea behind
these patches is to show that there is a _possible_ node
reference problem :) that's it :)
