I don't think you should blow your vacation on updating the driver unless that it what you enjoy doing. Some people on this newsgroup need to realize that we are getting immeasurably valuable services for free, and the people who provide them deserve nothing but praise (and the occasional bug report). I am sure Mr Grimes did not intend to denigrate you or your work in any way. He has always been helpful to both myself and the FreeBSD community at large and I certainly don't include him in the group of people who sometimes appear ungrateful for the services rendered by others - quite the contrary. Maybe the next time someone sends a bug to the author of a driver (or any part of the system, for that matter) a short word of thanks is in order for what they have done so far. I better stop now before I end up running for public office! Thanks to everyone who has helped me by making FreeBSD available. ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose reality.
