(2.1.5 was beta support iirc). I used to submit prs and so forth to try and get them to work, through this I've come to understand that the FreeBSD ad driver is written according to the IDE "standard" and it's the drives themselves that have wrong BIOS code. If you have a drive that just plain doesn't work correctly, and never has worked correctly, I doubt 4.6.2 will fix it. If your drive worked fine, and then updating to 4.6 broke it, then 4.6.2 will probably fix it. As far as the code being in -STABLE, code freeze for 4.6.2 is a ways off yet. My guess is the people working on it are still testing fixes and so forth. Josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
