Swearingen >Release: FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE i386 >Organization: none >Environment: n/a ================ >Description: The le(4) man page should warn in a new "Bugs" section (placed before the "Description", preferably) that the le driver has been causing system panics during use of "ifconfig" since at least 4.0-RELEASE and is no longer being supported. (It got it with 4.5 and the only reply to my crash dump report was a reference to the suspended PR misc/18641 on the same symptom) and a comment that it seemed to be unsupported.) ================ >How-To-Repeat: n/a ================ >Fix: See Description. A PR against the driver, GENERIC, LINT, etc, should probably be entered. Is it customary to write one or two PRs in these situations? Should misc/18641 get a followup? I think I just read that obsolete stuff stays in until the next x.0-RELEASE. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
