Hi all:
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between the OpenBSD(net
template) TCP/IP Stack and
the FreeBSD TCP/IP Stack(new_net template)?
For using FreeBSD Does anything(the device driver) needs to be
changed?
If the current device driver support the OpenBSD, will it be suitable
for the FreeBSD without change?
(I can compile my deviece driver for the OpenBSD without problem, but
when I tried to use the FreeBSD
I encounter some problem, do I need to redesign the device driver?)
The device drivers should be compatible (no changes required).
The major difference at this time is that the new stack does
not support SNMP (i.e. you can't build the SNMP package if
you select "new_net")
Although in this particular case, it could be some subtle header file
change, since there are quite a few differences between the ports in there.
