Re: Max DMA size

Mike, A couple of months ago we spoke about my needing the ability to set module parameters during a kldload, and you indicated that you would be working on them for FreeBSD 4.1. I've since progressed my DSL driver to the point where it works in all the modes I need (same as the Linux driver),
