Cannot 'start' webcamd. Set webcamd_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of 'start'. I don't HAVE or want a webcam. This is an anomaly Here's the device as reported by lsusb Bus /dev/usb Device /dev/ugen0.5: ID 0846:9052 NetGear, Inc. A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8811AU] Here's the dmesg ugen0.2: <Realtek 802.11ac WLAN Adapter> at usbus0 rtwn0 on uhub0 rtwn0: <802.11ac WLAN Adapter > on usbus0 rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8821AU, RF 6052 1T1R I hope I am getting better at reporting anomalies... 8o) -- FreeBSD FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p3 r369283 Special amd64 HP-Slimline 290-p0014 Desktop Using integrated UHD Graphics 630 Built drm from /usr/ports/drm-kmod
