            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.
