But I know some folks were looking for FDDI cards to use on their

I have 2 brandnew surplus Digital DEFPA-AB (SAS, MMF, PCI) cards for trade.

Currently FreeBSD issues a very large number of NFSv3 commit rpcs when
writing a sequential file. They average out to about one every 64k or
so. Solaris, on the other hand, issues only a handful.

I don't see how it would be even possible, due to hardware limitations.

I originally asked about making a network driver module for 3.4.
I was hoping for either a "here's how you do it" or at least an "it's

But that IS the way CVS works. There is NO "STABLE" tag. The tag is
