Is it possible to submit in-tree drivers for consideration by the project? I'm thinking about the dl2k driver. At least the Dlink DG-550SX card doesn't work under load with modern hardware. The chip is a Tamarack TC9021, and the FreeBSD folks have published vendor specs. Back in 2006, I tried to fix the locking and memory consistency issues in the driver we observed during testing, but failed. It's not that the code has decayed over time, even very old kernels don't work correctly with modern boards (probably a timing issue, I never saw it on an older system which used a dl2k card for a network tap). The FreeBSD driver works fine using the same card/board combination, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware bug. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer at bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstra?e 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
