Ouch ... the freebsd lists are so fragmented, it's a major PITA keeping track of all the lists (when I keep switching addresses from one freemail to another as and when the spam load gets too much). Are they all as high traffic as this one? :) I suppose I'd better repost my q about my (rather weird) dlink card on freebsd-net (unless some kind soul answers it ...) here's what happens .. jotunheim# kldload /modules/if_rl.ko Jan 3 13:07:42 jotunheim /kernel: linker_file_sysinit "if_rl.ko" failed to register! 17 Jan 3 13:07:42 jotunheim /kernel: module_register: module rl/miibus already exists!
