My only internet connection at home is via wireless 2. The only wireless card in my laptop is a 4965AGN, and I have a symbol spectrum 24 which doesn't pick up any signals 3. I dual boot this laptop with fedora 9 which supports my wireless cards, and checkout sources via svn When I checkout from http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head I see that under /usr/src/head/share/man/man4/ several files are missing, one of them is acpi_video.4, it simply doesn't show up, and breaks buildworld.....not hallucinating, i tried it from scratch a few times! If however I use svn under cygwin, everything downloads fine. The other thing I tried earlier was to download src via tortoise svn on my work laptop which runs windows xp..... -Rohit
