Is anybody working on fixing bce(4) in stable? As far as
I can see in the repository, nothing happened recently.
The last commit in releng 7 was in December last year.
Otherwise, I suggest to revert the source to the same
version as in releng 7.1. Unfortunately, bce(4) hardware
is not that uncommon; I have it in several dozen machines
at customers. Having a known broken driver in -stable
for several months is bad.
Best regards
Oliver
