BGE driver upgrade from 5.3-RELEASE

2006-11-13 Thread James Kilton
I have a running 5.3-RELEASE system that needs a BGE driver upgrade so that packets with VLAN tags aren't stripped. Is there any way to do this without upgrading the entire OS? This feature was just added to the driver a month ago. Thanks, James

TCPDUMP performance

2005-01-02 Thread James Kilton
Hello, We've installed some FreeBSD machines as Gigabit sniffers, and I'm wondering if there are any things I can tweak (e.g., buffer size) to help TCPDUMP capture better (we often see packets dropped by the kernel). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, James
