The simple fact the the controller in question, and here I am assuming it is the controller, does not function correctly under FreeBSD, versions >=3D 11.x, but apparently does function under other OSs, is prima facie proof that it is not supported. I have seen zero proof that anyone is actively working on this phenomenon. The fact the the bug was first reported over a year ago would seem to indicate that it is not attracting any attention. The fact that it did work once under older versions reinforces my belief that someone screwed up the code in the newer versions. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/0.1dktuT9X8j0UD+/j+eObY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAEBCAAdFiEELeCiu2K+9VmEYYgTgHBP8gv9FXcFAmBXj7gACgkQgHBP8gv9 FXegLwv/fzJvTHjtk2pNykc2GVGAEUeMlodHC39w4m/GztklHVJJ9sFV0dpmV5wT QZOpA219gxoiNsJl9gy/pAyeKPGntVHz1wRBbWxj66bZw9qkHRII0sSfhzZOY4uS jgyh/I59LTPFfoweLLg1ez1Yhe25kZ9zIQ8PEY4eoULUnktaG3uMShp6UaoEr8jI yyTzwC41/KTeS5+/2JYGpFwfoPSB2deVtocIwoZoBKD30BKV4YvUwOr9yRt/5OON aMK0T3BdSDdqB6gCqvfTYsN/Cxpa72JaBgFV3FuhD9m4S0b8suvINxw9Z7rJ2AHW 7R4YEE5D8DLoc1KC8/XmFQr/5gLpxkS6FUBUo1Hcr1c4EFr/78Bm5JeqkZRut3Xn 7Ew5p5/lLEyzqq6mIFdNAI89mLgl1jRD0PBBpKqDiOyknmAyNaJA65F50AMbob1E ++EWXOjEjEDUQOTECMUF2lkdL1LcVIGbvTk3V0HCMTGv5IeGLocTjBuuZP5RXDCI hHxTfMRG =4FQD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/0.1dktuT9X8j0UD+/j+eObY--
