Did you read it? The driver you need (mfi) was never backported to 5.x It was introduced in= =20 =46BSD 6.1-R You might ask the author (Scott Long) how much work it would = be=20 or why it was never backported. It's possible it's trivial and it's possib= le=20 that it would require massive amounts of work. =2D-=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB --nextPart1883514.N7dilFasy5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHMKfKJvkB8SevrssRAssxAJ9dutb71W8BDdpkx0SVxDTSgxRD0ACgh9Y0 zREvVJWzK54Gd0EiZniLKG0= =HukI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1883514.N7dilFasy5--
