Date: 29 Aug 1994 19:54:46 GMT Organization: Allen-Bradley Co. Lines: 26 Message-ID: <33tee7INN7vr@scarecrow.mke.ab.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: tinman.mke.ab.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hello All, I have an interesting problem with the networking on my FreeBSD box. It tickles a bug in my Livingston terminal server causing it to crash. The problem seems to occur when there is garbage data in the ethernet frame following the end of the IP packet. Our testing shows that this is a problem with NetBSD, FreeBSD, and KA9Q... maybe other IP devices as well, but those our the ones we have discovered. I am trying to get a patch from Livingston, but I would also like to patch my FreeBSD code (I have a feeling I can accomplish that much more quickly). Can anyone offer some help or advice? (i.e "look at such and such part of the kernel code") Should I be focusing on the driver for my specific network card? (3c509) What part of the kernel source code should I be looking at?
