THere are compliance levels associated with SMBIOS. The SMBIOS versions must match what it is that is implemented, and infact I have pending code in review that specifically implements features as SMBIOS version 1.0, though I would rather be implementing this in the newer SMBIOS spec (at least 2. something and preferable 3.2, but as discsussed in email with jgb that would require a complete audit and upgrade of our current code to be at that spec level, a none trivial, but worthwhile effort I defered for later. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
