It would be a lot nicer if you could still allow one to use more readable things like IF_Gbps(10). Note that we do have a 40G driver (mlxen) as well. Maybe a helper 'if_set_baudrate(ifp, IF_Gbps(10))' that would DTRT. (It could be a static inline or some such). I would just like to keep the readability. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
