Overkill, but not a problem.

Overkill and a bad idea. The /etc/defaults files should never be edited.

It's almost certainly STABLE problems. The archives of stable and
mobile are full of the tales of Warner's tribulations in trying to get
everything working with the new PCI code. Rest assured that you are
not alone.

If you cvsup back to about the first of August, you should be
fine. (Actually, I think it's about the 11th, but I know that my Aug
02 system is before the PCI stuff was MFCed.)

Warner has been putting in yoeman's service trying to get every thing
working but, while it's getting closer, some systems still are not
working right.
