Demetriou) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: Re: [386bsd] problem with slip after patchkit (solution) Date: 15 Nov 92 00:43:18 Organization: Kernel Hackers 'r' Us Lines: 24 Message-ID: <CGD.92Nov15004318@erewhon.CS.Berkeley.EDU> References: <1992Nov15.071209.4230@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: erewhon.cs.berkeley.edu In-reply-to: michaelm@pike.ee.mcgill.ca's message of 15 Nov 92 07:12:09 GMT this was mentioned a while ago, and apparently a patch has yet to be produced... as of pl58, there is a bogus "return;" statement on line 638 (i think) in /sys/net/if_sl.c, which ensures that all packets received by the slip handling code get tossed. remove it, or comment it out, and all will be happy. BTW, if you want "real" RTS/CTS flow control, get my serial driver, and apply the patches to /sys/kern/tty.c and /sys/sys/ioctl.h... the current version defines CRTSCTS to simply be output flow control, rather than output and input... i might send my patches to the appropriate people if i have time...
