Hi All,
I have a machine still stuck on NetBSD 1.6, I decided to try to port
the Tap driver to it. One question I have is where I define the major
for this new driver on 1.6.
On current I see conf/majors. Do I do this simply by adding a new
entry to the structure bellow:
#include "clockctl.h"
cdev_decl(clockctl);
struct cdevsw cdevsw[] =
{
cdev_cn_init(1,cn), /* 0: virtual console */
cdev_ctty_init(1,ctty), /* 1: controlling terminal */
...
A quick update.
My oversize frame problems are greatly reduced by
reverting rgephy.c as above, I have however still seen
1 instance of an oversize frame on a system that was at
the time experiencing very high disk I/O load. The
network device stopped working on this system until the
system was rebooted.
So as I see it there appear to be 2 problems which may or
may not be related:
1. Something in the netbsd-4 branch version of rgephy.c
causes the system to experience a high ...
from what I remember this is the right way to do it, yes.
Don't forget to cdev_decl() it too.
You'll also have to hack MAKEDEV (or create the device nodes by calling
mknod directly).
