Well, I also had this feeling at first (especially since I tend to trust UPDATING in these matters) but it is not so. I know this because I have tried the variant you suggested first and found out fairly quickly that the firmware did not load. :-) This was on iwi, btw, but I do not think this matters. With the variant in the man page, it works 1A. I specify the var in /boot/loader.conf. And the var name starts with "legal" not "license" in both cases. Your first point about required kernel modules stands however :-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
