I'm both correct and incorrect. Correct: ifconfig -m will show you want. No need for the patch. Incorrect: I missed the "POLLING" part of #define IFCAPBITS in ifconfig.c -- it is in fact listed there. Maybe the polling bit is only made available if you've built a kernel with "option DEVICE_POLLING"? For example, I can do "ifconfig em1 polling", which returns no error, but "ifconfig -m em1" does not show POLLING. (My kernel does NOT have DEVICE_POLLING defined.) In your above output, capabilities is 0x48, which means POLLING is available, and VLAN_MTU is available. You did not provide us output of "ifconfig -m rl0", but I'd be inclined to believe "POLLING" is shown there... I hope. :-) Also, it appears ifconfig does not print TOE4 or TOE6 capability bits; that's probably a missing feature. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
