Hi, Is there a way to force the disabling of flow control on em(4)?
Henning said (http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=123003276308084&w=2): > flow control is enabled on openbsd whenever the peer supports it; done > in the autonegotiation phase. there is no button to turn it off. why > should there? But in my case, although flow control is disabled and auto-negociation is enabled on the Cisco side, "rxpause,txpause" still appears in ifconfig(8). However, looking at /sys/dev/pci/if_em_hw.c, it looks like "software [can] manually configure flow control". This makes me think of dev.em.X.fc on FreeBSD, but I don't think there's an equivalent on OpenBSD. Is there a not-too-gruesome way of disabling flow control on em(4)? Or a define to tweak in if_em_hw.h or something? As for why: I'm asked to test my network with flow control disabled at the OS level, otherwise these servers won't run OpenBSD. Thanks
