Sir, I understood this, I was simply thinking of the future which is a thing I do often. I understand that it will work under 4.0 however I am concerned at the approach taken. I do not run current since most of my machines are production, and the ones that are not, well - I do not ever claim to have the technical know-how to properly debug low level coding issues such as this. : Anyone wishing for support for their hardware in the ad driver that : doesn't already have it should be working with Soren to make it happen. : Otherwise, whining about it next year (when 5.0 becomes -Stable, or : whenever) will be silently ignored. I completely agree, it was not my intention to come cross as "whining" I understand the issues involved in making an O/S work on all kinds of different hardware combinations, and I do not expect such to be perfect! Overall, I'm more than thrilled with FreeBSD, it has served me far better than I ever could have hoped for. Though my post was rather negative sounding, please do not take it as a shot against FreeBSD, I should have worded my post more carefully. I'm willing to aide however I can, I am simply not sure of what I can actually do to help. I do not pretend to understand the code involved in such a thing, though I would be happy to help in any way recommended by someone with more know-how than I have. : Doug : -- : Excess on occasion is exhilarating.
