ioctl() routine at the end of if_delmulti() so that interfaces with hardware multicast filtering can update their filters in a timely manner. If the interface doesn't support hardware multicast filtering, then reception of multicast frames is done using 'promiscious mode' or 'capture all multicast frames' mode and software filtering in the kernel. In this case, it doesn't matter if if_delmulti() ever does an SCIODELMULTI on the interface or not: if MULTICAST support is enabled, then we join the 'all hosts' group when the interface is configured, and remain in it until the interface is brought down. Without hardware filtering, joining one group means joining all groups, so it makes no difference if we call the SIOCDELMULTI routine. If the interface does support hardware multicast filtering, then by not reprogramming the hardware filter in if_delmulti(), we have to wait until somebody calls if_setmulti(), during which time the interface is receiving frames for multicast groups in which we are no longer interested.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.11 1997/08/09 14:36:20 jkh Exp $ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel and the contents of /etc. Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
