When I first upgraded from 5.1-RELEASE to 5.2-BETA on Monday, I had to disable ACPI on the FreeBSD text startup menu or the laptop wouldn't talk network with anything. Although an nmap from a remote machine said that ssh and ftp ports were open, I couldn't ftp or ssh to or from the machine with the default boot (number 1) selection. Another cvs update and buildkernel/ buildworld seems to have corrected the problem. Unfortunately, I didn't install the KDE stuff until after the 5.2-BETA upgrade, so I don't know if the /dev/dsp issue was there with 5.1-RELEASE. Please let me know if you encounter similar wierdness after you do the 5.2-BETA upgrade. Thanks Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT
