Starting this Friday, we are going to hold a bugathon to work through
some of the network-related PRs. More details, and a list of resources,
are available at http://wiki.freebsd.org/Bugathons/January2009.
I have come up with a page that details a subset of those PRs as a set

Greetings,
I'm RP for a fairly large chunk of IP real estate. I carved out
a /27 segment for my home network. Which is currently running over
a cisco 837 GW (adsl/router). I'm not really keen on it (the router/modem).

box with FBSD
