Inconsistency between net/if.c and several ethernet drivers

2002-07-16 Thread Bill Baumann
thersubr.c uses the following macro: #define IFP2AC(IFP) ((struct arpcom *)IFP) It looked to me like the other code in net, like if_ethersubr.c use ifp rather than if_softc to find struct arpcom. Bug? - Bill Baumann ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubsc

Illustrated... So while this wouldn't really be a bug fix, perhaps we should do my suggested change anyway to avoid modifying the drivers. Regards, Bill Baumann On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Kelly Yancey wrote: > On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Bill Baumann wrote: > > > > > In net/if.c in

My thought is that the net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen should be set to the maximum receive queue length of your NIC. Depending upon traffic (bursty short packets being the worst), other kernel operations being slow, and NIC interrupt coalesce or polling times, your NIC's rx buffer can fill signif

lity. It would take some porting effort. Only a small effort was made on usability, so that could be an issue too. http://sourceforge.net/projects/l2tp/ I would also suggest going to http://sourceforge.net and search for l2tp. There are a few other projects out there besides these two. Rega

o other variables besides wl1 and wl2 that are problematic. rcv_up, and snd_recover are also in need of updating. rcv_up can easily be updated along with wl1. However, snd_recover is not as obvious to me. We could inadvertently avoid fast recovery in the condition described below. Should we updat
