Hi, I cvsupped today and got all of Luigi's commit [the one where he
does 1.16.2.13 of bridge.c alongwith a few others], I also have David
Malone's fix to syslogd.c [1.59.2.5]
If I don't have the following sysctl
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit=10
then dmesg gets busted as mentioned earlier and if I do a sync;reboot
then I get a huge amount of ipfw messages scrolling on the console [It's
as if they were backlogged in some buffer somewhere] and after a few
seconds the syncing disk messages comes along
I have the following in my kernel config
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options BRIDGE
options DUMMYNET
my /etc/sysctl.conf is as follows
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1
net.link.ether.bridge=1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose=1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit=10
