NVidia nForce MCP network driver : Update
Hi, I would just like to give a quick update on the status of my NVidia nForce MCP network driver. So far the driver has proven to be stable on both FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and 4.9-RC, and works on all tested nForce and nForce2 motherboards. The driver is now available for public download, the source code and a few other components can be found here: http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/ Keeping in mind that it is still a work in progress. Unfortunately I don't expect that the Athlon64/Opteron nForce3 support will be quite so straight forward to support, but if someone can assist me in getting access to this hardware I will be able to investigate it further. -- Seeya...Q -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _ / Quinton Dolan [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ __/ / / __/ / / /__ / _// / Gold Coast, QLD, Australia __/ __/ __/ / / - / Ph: +61 419 729 806 ___ / _\ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There are a few corners where it does, but nothing that isn't specific to a certain set of drivers. Additionally, it is necessary to not have members called if_name and if_unit if we have if_xname as the primary driver name. It's also worth noting that one of the things I want to do is break the driver+unit mapping for certain types of pseudo devices. Specifically vlan devices should be allocatable by creating an interface with a name like fxp0.100 so while you could synthesize a unit number, it wouldn't have any useful meaning. I wonder how that works for vlans over bridges... -- Daniel C.
