Interface groups (from OpenBSD)

2006-03-28 Thread Max Laier
Hi, while porting OpenBSD 3.9 (soon to be released) pf I stumbled on interface groups. This is a mechanism to group arbitrary interfaces into logical groups. It is just naming (not functional change), but it helps to convey semantic information (e.g. group "LAN", "DMZ" ...) about your interfa

Does anyone have chip documentation on the broadcom BGE chips? I'm having an ongoing issue with IPMI that I'd really like to get resolved. The issue seems to be that during the driver start sequence, a flag is getting set in the chip that's disabling the IPMI passthrough that I need in order for

Following an unrelated discussion about "interface grouping" in OpenBSD, I'd like to know if there are any known or planned implementations of LACP (802.3ad) interface teaming in FreeBSD? FreeBSD currently has etherchannel support, but to my knowledge that will only work for a link to a single swi

The patch applied cleanly and compiled without visible issues. The kernel seems to be happy and IPMI is now functioning happily while the interface is in use. I there are any particular methods of testing you would otherwise like me to perform, I'll be happy to do so. I'll beat on it with cvsup an
