I've been keeping these machines updated on RELENG_6_2 because I have a couple pre-compiled hardware drivers I must use which I do not have kernel source for. I just did a csup/buildkernel last week on the latest p8 source tree and tested the included twa driver and it was not up to date. Would it be possible to get the twa driver pushed back into RELENG_6_2?
