I'm looking at driver code in the FreeBSD kernel, and pretty much everywhere I look I see a check for EEPROM checksum. It's always 0xffff. What is so special about this value 0xffff? Is this value agreed upon by hardware manufacturers? So basically they have one end slot for data where they put in the last bytes in order to ensure that the checksum is always 0xffff?Received on Mon Mar 28 2011 - 22:41:34 UTC
