Since FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE, we do not use a.out as the system executable format. You have two choices: (1) If you have to have it a.out for some reason, put OBJFORMAT=aout in your environment. (2) You should probably be just using "elf" as the -f argument fo

Hello all, I am currently enrolled in college course that requires us to use the Netwide Assembler (NASM). This creates a small problem for me, because I do not have a DOS box in my room, and do not know how to get NASM to work the way I expect it to under FreeBSD. I noticed that NASM is loc

1999-10-31 Thread Chris Costello
I'm trying to implement Bill Paul's "setmac" code in the actual source code as a project (and will have it reviewed before it's committed -- if I ever get that far!). However, I'm getting stuck in that ether_ioctl is never getting the ioctl request. I've added the case statement for "SIOCSIFM
