Even if it isn't the right fix, it should make the problem and solution crystal clear to DG. It makes no sense whatsoever to make someone else's life difficult by only giving 'hints' -- this is not a classroom, and most everyone here has a life outside of FreeBSD development they must attend to. Remember that this is an open-source project and the developers are unpaid. The only responsibility any given person has to the project is that which they impose upon themselves. Out of respect the person who wrote the driver should always get first crack at reviewing/fixing/updating it. If he doesn't have time, then other developersr will take up the slack. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
