Last I checked the wi driver will not do IBSS and says so in the documentation. I also tried it and couldn't get anywhere. Would be nice. Even better would be to use the algos in their office router stuff. We're looking at that now. We currently use a fbsd box to connect the Internet to a Wav

Hi Doug... Actually, it is a proper UDMA66 cable (so agrees the Promise UDMA66 controller I was playing with a while back). But ... I'm not looking for UDMA66 speeds, like I mentioned - the motherboard only supports UDMA33 anyways. With a tip from another reply, I found this on Maxtor's website

Hi, I know this is an old topic but I don't seem to find answers to my questions in the mailing list archives. I'm wondering why FreeBSD did not implement the SYN cookies method that is currently implemented in Linux? To my best understanding, SYN cookie seems to be a better method against SYS
