Is there an official guide that shows me exactly when I add an X to my system, that I need to makedev Y and makedev Z? I ask, because every time I get a new piece of hardware, I see many people asking how to configure it yet there are no replies that end up being anywhere close (even when some of the reply authors claim to run the exact same piece of hardware). thank you for any help banksw@sunyit.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
