Re: WinAoE deadlock

I think using a global for GlobalSourceMac would prevent using an AoE server with more than 1 MAC address, but there may be other limitations within the driver too; I've only tried WinAoE/Windows XP with an AoE server using a single MAC/NIC, which is working well.

Good Luck,
Tim

Just going through and incorporating this work...  I see "GlobalSourceMac."  Could it cause a race condition if someone had AoE SANs attached via more than one NIC?  I don't see any spin-lock protection on it, for example.  Thanks for your time.  - Shao

The original WinAoE patch posting expired, so I re-posted the diff -u patch; supposed to be a permanent post now.
