Many developers say "I don't use modules in -CURRENT". I really doubt they are talking about not using any network drivers (for instance). Also note that debugging the two are different -- see the FAQ of how to gdb a module. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
