But only on the CURRENT.. For those who don't know very well the "patch" tool(like me ;p), msk.HEAD.diff create some new dirs, you must provide to the patch utility the -p option(thanks to the folk from irc), here's how I got it work(not sure if that's 100% correct): cp msk.HEAD.diff /usr/src/ cd /usr/src/ patch -i msk.HEAD.diff -p But I need to use it on a production server and the CURRENT one is too unstable, without too much thinking I just run ping -f 127.0.0.1 and after some minutes I got kernel panic, heh. I think the msk driver is a great addition to the 7.0 version, great job ! If anyone know how to make Marvell Yukon 88E8056 work under FreeBSD 6 stable version, I would be very pleased to hear..
