This is statement is nothing more than baseless slander, just so *you* know. I really hate it when: - People claim to be having earth-shattering difficulties and then fail to provide *any* useful debugging information. You don't even tell us what version of FreeBSD you're having trouble with, or what version of the driver. (Nevermind exactly what card or what kind of machine you have it plugged into.) For all we know, your "serious problems under heavy load" may be due to you dropping a safe on the computer. - People have problems, fail to report them, and then wonder why things don't get fixed. If you have a real, detailed and accurate bug report to submit, then fine: let's hear it. But if you just want to make vague and unsubstantiated complaints, do me a favor and just keep it to yourself. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
