1.1. KERNEL CHANGES
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
1998-09-09 03:37:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
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.
1998-12-04 18:01:24 +00:00
|
|
|
Added driver support for fast ethernet adapters based on the
|
|
|
|
RealTek 8129/8139 and Accton MPX 5030/5038 chips.
|

|
|
|
|
|
Added driver support for Lite-On PNIC-based fast ethernet cards
|
|
|
|
including the LinkSys LNE100TX, NetGear FA310TX Rev. D1 and
|
|
|
|
Matrox FastNIC 10.100.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Added driver support for fast ethernet adapters based on the
|
|
|
|
Macronix 98713, 98713A, 98715, 98715A and 98725 chips.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

1.2. SECURITY FIXES
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
1997-08-29 23:28:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1998-10-14 08:54:03 +00:00

1.3. USERLAND CHANGES
|
|
|
|
---------------------

|
|
|

1998-11-25 13:55:31 +00:00
|
|
|
When using ipfw(8) with the syntax of the first synopsis line from the
|
|
|
|
man page (i. e., with a rules file), it can now optionally be run through
|
|
|
|
a preprocessor (m4, cpp) so it's possible to use symbolic names and other
|
|
|
|
constructs that make maintenance easier.

2. Supported Configurations
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
also provided.
|
|
|
|
|
1996-11-14 14:50:29 +00:00
|
|
|
What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD. Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet
|
|
|
|
received confirmation of this.

|
|
|
SCSI TAPE SUPPORT:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CAM SCSI tape driver doesn't yet handle older (and many times broken)
|
|
|
|
tape drives very well. If you've got an older SCSI-1 tape drive, like an
|
|
|
|
Exabyte 8200 or older QIC-type tape drive, it may not work properly with
|
|
|
|
the CAM tape driver. This is obviously a known problem, and we're
|
|
|
|
working on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Newer tape drives that are mostly SCSI-2 compliant should work fine.
|
|
|
|
e.g., DAT (DDS-1, 2 and 3), DLT, and newer Exabyte 8mm drives should
|
|
|
|
work fine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to find out if your particular tape drive is supported, the
|
|
|
|
best way to find out is to try it!
|
1997-05-04 16:26:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1998-10-15 21:28:59 +00:00
|
|
|
The following drivers were supported under the old SCSI subsystem, but are
|
|
|
|
NOT YET supported under the new CAM SCSI subsystem:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tekram DC390 and DC390T controllers (maybe other cards based on the
|
|
|
|
AMD 53c974 as well).

[ Note: There is work-in-progress to port the AIC-6260/6360 and
|
|
|
|
UltraStor drivers to the new CAM SCSI framework, but no estimates on
|
|
|
|
when or if they will be completed. ]

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).

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!

4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
|
|
|
|
it's 2.2.x or 2.1.x (in some lesser number of cases) 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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Using sources, via /usr/src
|
|
|
|
o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1998-10-14 08:54:03 +00:00
|
|
|
In the case of using sources, there are simply two targets you need to
|
|
|
|
be aware of: The standard ``world'' target, which will upgrade a 2.x
|
|
|
|
system to 3.0, or the ``aout-to-elf'' target, which will both upgrade
|
|
|
|
and convert the system to ELF binary format.
|
|
|
|
In the case of using the binary upgrade option, the system will go
|
|
|
|
straight to 3.0/ELF but also populate the /<basepath>/lib/aout
|
|
|
|
directories for backwards compatibility with older binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In either case, going to ELF will mean that you'll have somewhat
|
|
|
|
smaller binaries and access to a lot more compiler goodies which have
|
|
|
|
been already been ported to other ELF environments (our older and
|
|
|
|
somewhat crufty a.out format being largely unsupported by most other
|
|
|
|
software projects), but on the downside you'll also have access to far
|
|
|
|
fewer ports and packages since many of those have not been adapted to
|
|
|
|
ELF yet. This will occur in time, but those who wish to retain access
|
|
|
|
to the greatest number of packages and 3rd-party binaries should
|
|
|
|
probably stick with a.out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kernel is also still in a.out format at this time so that older
|
|
|
|
LKMs and library interfaces can continue to work, but a full
|
|
|
|
transition to ELF will occur at some point after 3.0-RELEASE. Those
|
|
|
|
wishing to generate dynamic kernel components should therefore use the
|
|
|
|
newer KLD mechanism rather than the older LKM format - the LKM format
|
|
|
|
is not long for this world and will soon be unsupported!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
