--0000000000004bdd2e06144083f1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I put this call out on the FreeBSD Forum and was made aware of this: https://bsd-hardware.info/ I am checking it out and it seems pretty comprehensive. I would be very interested in this group's thoughts on whether pushing more FreeBSD users to add a probe <https://bsd-hardware.info/?view=3Dhowto>; woul= d provide the requisite insight. LMK your thoughts. Thank you!
