https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197220 Bug ID: 197220 Summary: RP (rocketport) Drivers/Module were removed in 8.x Product: Base System Version: 8.4-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsdbugs@gushi.org Opening this ticket after asking on questions@ and speaking to Sean Bruno in person. Seems the rp module is no longer built by default (was in 7.x). We use RocketPort Universal PCI cards and external pods at the Day Job. Removal was somewhat incomplete: * No mention in the release notes that I could find. * man rp still shows a driver * LINT doesn't include a "device rp" * Adding "device rp" to an otherwise generic kernel yields responsive devices. * Doing a cd /usr/src/sys/modules/rp; make; make install works, but I wasn't able to load it because rp is already in a custom Kernel I built. * Other rocketport devices are still compiled into the GENERIC kernel, as reported by "strings" We have a spare card available if folks want testing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
