s set by the user to indicate whether this interface is enabled or not. I.e. IFF_RUNNING set by system, IFF_UP set by user. This however, doesn't seem to be the case in all drivers though. I would be very pleased if someone could clarify the issue further. Please correct me if I'm totally wr

Routing latency

2001-03-19 Thread Mårten Wikström
I've performed a routing test between a FreeBSD box and a Linux box. I measured the latency and the result was not what I had expected. Both systems had the peak at 100 us (microseconds), but whereas the Linux box had _no_ packet over 200 us, the FreeBSD box delayed some packets up to 2 ms! Lookin

Wanted: documentation on KLD modules

2001-02-15 Thread Mårten Wikström
I'm trying to convert a PCI network interface device driver to a KLD module. However, the driver is depending on a pseudo-device and the pseudo-device is in turn dependent on the device driver. How do I specify dependencies between KLD modules and what type of module shall they be? Are there any d
