You can use bus_dmamem_alloc, which will use contigmalloc to allocate the necessary memory... You can then attach your own mbuf to the memory... Allocating contigous memory is an expensive operation... If the card doesn't support sg, you'll probably get better performance by not doing jumbo frames... > -----Original Message----- > From: John-Mark Gurney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 2:19 AM > To: Tanniru Sankar (WT01 - Computing Systems & Storage) > Cc: freebsd-net@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: ' bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg ( ) ' function usage problem > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote this message on Mon, Dec 18, 2006 at > 20:05 +0530: > > I am facing a problem on FreeBSD 7.0 during mapping using ' > > bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg ( ) ' function . > > Details are below. > > > > It is AMD 64 bit machine.
