TCPv6 lags in 4.5-RELEASE?

2002-02-09 Thread Nick Sayer
I don't know if I can quantify the issue very well, but since moving from 4.4-RELEASE to 4.5-RELEASE on my laptop, I've noticed that TCP-over-IPv6 sessions get stuck rather easily. They end up in a state where no further I/O will take place. TCP-over-IPv4 does not have this problem. This mach

First, let me start out by saying that I have hacked in Kame's NATPT functionality into this kernel, so it's entirely possible that is causing this, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Here's a stack trace from this panic: (above this is the trap, savecore and reboot) #17 0xc018b973 in rn_match (v_a

importing Kame's NATPT ?

2001-12-10 Thread Nick Sayer

if_dc problem identified

2001-11-26 Thread Nick Sayer
I have done some more investigating. I believe if_dc is not correctly interpreting the SROM. It turns out that on Znyx cards, the SIA block is not in the format the driver expects (there is a format bit you need to check to see what format it is in). I manually re-interpreted the data in the S
