- <para>[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have
- mentioned that the &man.procstat.1; utility has been added.
- This is a process inspection utility which provides both some of
- the missing functionality from &man.procfs.5; and new
- functionality for monitoring and debugging specific
- processes.</para>

- <para>[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned
- changes that the &man.ae.4; driver has been added to provide support
- for the Attansic/Atheros L2 FastEthernet controllers.
- This driver is not enabled in <filename>GENERIC</filename>
- kernels for this release.</para>
-
- <para>[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE included the
- following misdescriptions:</para>

- <listitem>
- <para>In the entry of &man.linux.4; ABI support,

-
- <para>[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have
- mentioned changes that the &man.jme.4; driver has been added to
- provide support for PCIe adapters based on JMicron JMC250
- gigabit Ethernet and JMC260 fast Ethernet controllers.</para>
-
- <para>[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have

-
- <para>[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have
- mentioned that &os; now supports multiple routing tables. To
- enable this, the following steps are needed:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>Add the following kernel configuration option and
- rebuild the kernel. The <literal>2</literal> is the number
- of FIB (Forward Information Base, synonym for a routing
- table here). The maximum value is 16.</para>
-
- <programlisting>options ROUTETABLES=2</programlisting>
-
- <para>The procedure for rebuilding the &os; kernel is
- described in the <ulink
- url="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html#AEN30408">&os;
- Handbook</ulink>.</para>
-
- <para>This number can be modified on boot time. To do so, add
- the following to <filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename> and
- reboot the system:</para>
-
- <programlisting>net.fibs=6</programlisting>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Set a loader tunable <varname>net.my_fibnum</varname> if
- needed. This means the default number of routing tables.
- If not specified, <literal>0</literal> will be used.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Set a loader tunable
- <varname>net.add_addr_allfibs</varname> if needed. This
- enables to add routes to all FIBs for new interfaces by
- default. When this is set to <literal>0</literal>, it will
- only allocate routes on interface changes for the FIB of the
- caller when adding a new set of addresses to an interface.
- Note that this tunable is set to <literal>1</literal> by
- default.</para>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>To select one of the FIBs, the new &man.setfib.1; utility
- can be used. This set an associated FIB with the process. For
- example:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; setfib -3 ping target.example.com</screen>
-
- <para>The FIB #3 will be used for the &man.ping.8; command.</para>
-
- <para>The FIB which the packet will be associated with will be
- determined in the following rules:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>All packets which have a FIB associated with them will
- use the FIB. If not, FIB #0 will be used.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>A packet received on an interface for forwarding uses
- FIB #0.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>A TCP listen socket associated with an FIB will generate
- accept sockets which are associated with the same FIB.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>A packet generated in response to other packet uses the
- FIB associated with the packet being responded to.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>A packet generated on tunnel interfaces such as
- &man.gif.4; and &man.tun.4; will be encapsulated using the
- FIB of the process which set up the tunnel.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Routing messages will be associated with the process's
- FIB.</para>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>Also, the &man.ipfw.8; now supports an action rule
- <literal>setfib</literal>. The following action:</para>
-
- <programlisting>setfib <replaceable>fibnum</replaceable></programlisting>
-
- <para>will make the matched packet use the FIB specified in
- <replaceable>fibnum</replaceable>. The rule processing
- continues at the next rule.</para>
+ <para>No news.</para>
