- Extend the ng_eiface(4) control message set with getifaddr, getifindex, getenaddr and setenaddr, c.f. ng_ether(4). Allows code to get a handle on the associated ngeth# interface, and change its properties without knowing the unit number. - Renamed NGM_EIFACE_SET (set) to NGM_EIFACE_SET_ENADDR (setenaddr) for clarity, and to match ng_ether(4). - Clean up some extraneous code. - Increased max MTU to 9000. - Document the new interfaces in ng_eiface.4. Fix: Apply the following patch in /usr/src of -CURRENT.
Robin, can you take a look at these threads: http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=c2l47t%2413rc%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=c3etc5%2422b3%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw May be you have some ideas/comments on this. And note, that now we have one more interface node ng_sppp and we are going to have fifth - ng_atm. I think this more general solution is better. I haven't started writing it, since I can't yet understand which approach described in above links, is prefered by developers. P.S. You have forgot to bump NGM_EIFACE_COOKIE in your patch.
