the tap (if_tap.ko) driver is part of -current and RELENG_4.
it was not included in 4.1-RC. should you need to use it, please,
download sources from -current or RELENG_4 and compile

Hello All,
I have released beta version of the TTY driver for SBNI-12x cards
for FreeBSD 3.2, 3.3
The SBNI-12x card is a short range modem. It is allow to get up to
2MB speed over plain couple of wires. Great for ISP and as "last mile"
solution. For more information about the card, ple
Hello All,
It is time for new release :)
The beta version of Ethernet TAP device driver for FreeBSD is released.
I've written this device driver for VTUN (http://vtun.netpedia.net) software
package. It is possible the coolest software to make tunnels over TCP/IP
networks. For more details plea

Hello All!
I've released Ethernet TAP driver v0.2 for FreeBSD
It provides a virtual Ethernet interface to the system. It also
provides packet reception and
transmission for user-space programs. It can be viewed as a simple
Ethernet device, which

i agree, but ...
we have user space ppp, with all kind of useful things
like filter etc. it is slower than kernel ppp, but
everybody keep using it. so may be we can build a kind of
"smart" bridge. it will touch only specific interfaces,
collect information about route to specific MAC's etc.

Hello All,
Is there any ioctl command to get Ethernet MAC address from specific
interface?
I've checked netstat and ifconfig source code and mail archive.
It seems to me all use different methods to do the same thing.
I'm using FreeBSD 3.3-Release. May be SIOGHWADDR (as in Linux)

All,
I've just found that read from /dev/bpfX never return EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK.
It means that when you do a non blocking read and there is no data you will
always get 0.
Does it suppose work this way?
A non blocking read from pipe return EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK if there is no data
and
pipe was opened
Hello All,
Is it possible to get access to link layer (AF_LINK) via raw socket?
kind of Linux SOCK_PACKET. It seems to me that it is not. (hope I wrong :)
I can access raw IP via socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW)
and event get access to IP header with setsockopt. But not AF_LINK :(

kernel stack.
- new control message allows to set raw mode on

in case if still need it :)
here is good skeleton for shell code :-) i DO NOT want to put
REAL shell code here. just do ``x/32bx main'' and you will
see what you want. :)
i'm too lazy to write in assebmler and hate AT&T syntax :)

I know this OS. It looks great. Perhaps, it is a good choice for embeded OS.
i know that :) i guess my questions were
1) why the same piece of code duplicated in all ``mount_xxx'' utilities?
2) if we are loading fs kernel module from ``mount_xxx'' why
we have to do it again in kernel?
if i'm not missing anything, by the time we reach ``mount''
function, fs module will b

i've been looking at ``mount_xxx'' code and have noticed "strange" thing.

Red Hat Linux includes kerneld, the Kernel Daemon,
which automatically loads some software and hardware

i can see some interest, that is good :)
the working prototype can be found at

so far it can dynamicly load

2) filesystems (by name). please note that ``mount_xxx''

but why? :-)
well, i've heard both negative and positive replies.
so, i've just open ``kerneld'' project on sourceforge.net
anyone who is interested, please, make your suggestions and wishes.
just drop me an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i'll be more than happy to hear from you. i'll try put working prototype on
