Hello Subhro, Thanks for your help. From the link I have the following files: ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz (2k) ata-mk3m.diff-releng5.gz (2k) ata-mk3m.tar.gz (100k) ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz (113k) ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz (2k) Which file should I be using? Is 'current' better than 'releng5'? Do I also need to download a pair of files: ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz with ata-mk3m.tar.gz? Sorry, but I am quite confused with kernal patching. Recompiling yes, but never patched in my life. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Subhro" <subhro.kar@gmail.com> To: "Foo Ji-Haw" <jhfoo@nexlabs.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 11:53 AM Subject: Re: How do you patch a driver? > Foo Ji-Haw sat at his 'puter and typed on 10/3/2005 8:46: > > Hello Gheorghe, > > > > I read with interest your success in getting your Adaptec 1210SA to work on FreeBSD.
