Yes, lets silence the critics. Nice way to run an O/S. Last time I asked a simple question as to whether this problem had been fixed yet and I was told to figure it out myself. It seems that with the freebsd-slackers the only was to get results is to emphasize the importance of this to your user base. The fxp driver is "recommended" as the best driver, yet maintaining it is a burden and complaining is not allowed. When is that BSDI "support" going to kick-in?
