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 -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
