So, it is fixable and hopefully will be fixed > before 4.8 We could also put 'ispfw' into the GENERIC kernel which would work. That said, getting ispfw.ko onto the CD and loaded by the loader is not very hard to do. One just needs to stick 'ispfw_load="YES"' into loader.conf on the CD in the release makefile in the cdrom.1 target and copy ispfw.ko from somewhere to /boot on the CD in the same target. Suggestions on where to grab ispfw.ko from? I suppose we could just grab it from the bin dist tree. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
