This is a 4.0-CURRENT release SNAPshot of FreeBSD, an active
|
|
|
|
|
development branch which is not expected to produce a release for
|
|
|
|
|
some time. This line of development branched from the 3.x line
|
|
|
|
|
on January 20, 1999; that branch will see continuing releases and
|
|
|
|
|
some features of 4.0 will be back-ported.

|
|
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
|
|
|
|
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
|
|
|
|
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is

An early Christmas present: add driver support for a whole bunch of
PCI fast ethernet adapters, plus man pages.
if_pn.c: Netgear FA310TX model D1, LinkSys LNE100TX, Matrox FastNIC 10/100,
various other PNIC devices
if_mx.c: NDC Communications SOHOware SFA100 (Macronix 98713A), various
other boards based on the Macronix 98713, 98713A, 98715, 98715A
and 98725 chips
if_vr.c: D-Link DFE530-TX, other boards based on the VIA Rhine and
Rhine II chips (note: the D-Link and certain other cards
that actually use a Rhine II chip still return the PCI
device ID of the Rhine I. I don't know why, and it doesn't
really matter since the driver treats both chips the same
anyway.)
if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the
Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to
the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many
clones there are running around)
All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast
filtering.
Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and
sysinstall device list.
I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.

Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs

FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike
chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX).
And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast
ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which
nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince
3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit
ethernet hardware.
Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported
by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with
a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box
labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside

HARP | Host ATM Research Platform
===================================
HARP 3
What is this stuff?
-------------------
The Advanced Networking Group (ANG) at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center,
Inc. (MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed
the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to
communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to
be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports
standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP
software sends and receives datagrams via a HARP ATM interface. HARP provides
functionality similar to (and typically replaces) vendor-provided ATM device
driver software.
HARP includes full source code, making it possible for researchers to
experiment with different approaches to running IP over ATM. HARP is
self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages.
HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM
networks, including:
o IETF ATMARP address resolution client
o IETF ATMARP address resolution server
o IETF SCSP/ATMARP server
o UNI 3.1 and 3.0 signalling protocols
o Fore Systems's SPANS signalling protocol
What's supported
----------------
The following are supported by HARP 3:
o ATM Host Interfaces
- FORE Systems, Inc. SBA-200 and SBA-200E ATM SBus Adapters
- FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters
- Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155p ATM PCI Adapters
o ATM Signalling Protocols
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.1 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.0 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum ILMI address registration
- FORE Systems's proprietary SPANS signalling protocol
- Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs)
o IETF "Classical IP and ARP over ATM" model
- RFC 1483, "Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5"
- RFC 1577, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM"
- RFC 1626, "Default IP MTU for use over ATM AAL5"
- RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM"
- RFC 2225, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM"
- RFC 2334, "Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)"
- Internet Draft draft-ietf-ion-scsp-atmarp-00.txt,
"A Distributed ATMARP Service Using SCSP"
o ATM Sockets interface
- The file atm-sockets.txt contains further information
What's not supported
--------------------
The following major features of the above list are not currently supported:
o UNI point-to-multipoint support
o Driver support for Traffic Control/Quality of Service
o SPANS multicast and MPP support
o SPANS signalling using Efficient adapters
This software was developed under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

HARP | Host ATM Research Platform
===================================
HARP 3
What is this stuff?
-------------------
The Advanced Networking Group (ANG) at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center,
Inc. (MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed
the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to
communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to
be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports
standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP
software sends and receives datagrams via a HARP ATM interface. HARP provides
functionality similar to (and typically replaces) vendor-provided ATM device
driver software.
HARP includes full source code, making it possible for researchers to
experiment with different approaches to running IP over ATM. HARP is
self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages.
HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM
networks, including:
o IETF ATMARP address resolution client
o IETF ATMARP address resolution server
o IETF SCSP/ATMARP server
o UNI 3.1 and 3.0 signalling protocols
o Fore Systems's SPANS signalling protocol
What's supported
----------------
The following are supported by HARP 3:
o ATM Host Interfaces
- FORE Systems, Inc. SBA-200 and SBA-200E ATM SBus Adapters
- FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters
- Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155p ATM PCI Adapters
o ATM Signalling Protocols
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.1 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.0 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum ILMI address registration
- FORE Systems's proprietary SPANS signalling protocol
- Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs)

- Internet Draft draft-ietf-ion-scsp-atmarp-00.txt,
"A Distributed ATMARP Service Using SCSP"
o ATM Sockets interface
- The file atm-sockets.txt contains further information
What's not supported
--------------------
The following major features of the above list are not currently supported:
o UNI point-to-multipoint support
o Driver support for Traffic Control/Quality of Service
o SPANS multicast and MPP support
o SPANS signalling using Efficient adapters
This software was developed under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1997-02-01 01:08:35 +00:00
|
|
|
3.1. FTP/Mail

-------------
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00

You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
|
|
|
|
`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
|
|
|
|
|
networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
|
1997-03-14 05:23:23 +00:00
|
|
|
Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to
|

|
|
|
become an official mirror site.

If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
1997-05-14 07:12:57 +00:00
|
|
|
`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
|
|
|
|
|
megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
|
|
|
|
|
LAST resort!

|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
|
1999-01-21 23:26:34 +00:00
|
|
|
it's 3.0 and some of the following issues may affect you, depending
|
|
|
|
|
of course on your chosen method of upgrading. There are two popular
|
|
|
|
|
ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
|
1998-10-14 08:54:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Using sources, via /usr/src
|
|
|
|
|
o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.

Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
|
|
|
|
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00

|
|
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
1996-12-26 21:53:11 +00:00
|
|
|
Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
|
1996-11-13 12:35:17 +00:00
|
|
|
script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
|
|
|
|
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
|
|
|
|
|
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
|
|
|
|
|
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
|
|
|
|
|
watch out for.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
|
|
|
|
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1997-03-14 05:10:47 +00:00
|
|
|
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org

1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1996-12-26 21:24:00 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
|
|
|
|
|
even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use
|
|
|
|
|
this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
|
|
|
|
|
reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
|
|
|
|
|
the problem might have already been fixed since.

FreeBSD represents the cumulative work of many dozens, if not
|
|
|
|
|
hundreds, of individuals from around the world who have worked very
|
1997-02-01 01:08:35 +00:00
|
|
|
hard to bring you this release. For a complete list of FreeBSD
