Well, slight correction there: There are no plans for Soren to backport it to -stable or otherwise make it work, but that's not to say that other folks don't have plans of their own. :-) It would be simply unacceptable to leave a problem of this magnitude in -stable and, fortunately, others are working on it. PR#6686 already contains one set of proposed patches for this and the original poster is more than encouraged to test them out. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
