Not sure if CARP has something to do with it as I have quite a few RELENG_8 boxes out there running on Alix boxes (2 and 3 port as well as Soekris 5501s). But I think the 7.4 and 8.2 drivers for vr are essentially the same. That being said, there are some updates in RELENG_8 to the driver. Not sure if that makes any difference to your issue. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=223681 MFC r223405: Remove link state change callback handler. There is no need to register both status change and link state change callbacks. Implement checking valid link in state change callback and poll active link state in vr_tick(). This allows immediate detection of lost link as well as protecting driver from frequent link flips during link renegotiation. taskq implementation was removed because driver now needs to poll link state in vr_tick(). While I'm here do not report current link state if interface is not running. > > > - ask > -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, m...@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
