Unfortunately, while the open and close functions I wrote are called correctly, the ioctl function is never called. A call to ioctl(filehdl, PLEX86_IOCTL, int) returns an error, and a perror("ioctl") prints "ioctl: Bad Address." I know that the ioctl number is correct, and it was defined

If i do a perlcc test.pl i get the folllowing , in CURRENT ? Must i define something beforehand, or is it broken ? I'll take a look... Looks like perl brokenness. The missing boot_DynaLoader is in DynaLoader.a, but there is no way of linking it in. M -- Mark Murray Join the anti-SPAM

SYN flood prevention methods

Hi, I know this is an old topic but I don't seem to find answers to my questions in the mailing list archives. I'm wondering why FreeBSD did not implement the SYN cookies method that is currently implemented in Linux? To my best understanding, SYN cookie seems to be a better method against SYS

Re: Moving FreeBSD towards glibc (or: FreeBSD and Hurd/Mach)

2000-08-26 Thread Farid Hajji
are there plans to replace FreeBSD's libc with GNU glibc in the near or medium future? Thanks for all your replies. I perfectly understand the reasons for avoiding GNU copylefted code like glibc in FreeBSD. Using the Hurd/Mach as kernel replacement for FreeBSD would indeed require adding

are there plans to replace FreeBSD's libc with GNU glibc in the near or medium future? Linux moved also from it's own libc5 to glibc (=libc6) some time ago and it may be useful to do the same in FreeBSD too. Nope. The license for glibc is not one we'd want to use for such a core component

Last I checked the wi driver will not do IBSS and says so in the documentation. I also tried it and couldn't get anywhere. Would be nice. Even better would be to use the algos in their office router stuff. We're looking at that now. We currently use a fbsd box to connect the Internet to a
