(I'm not sure why this is the case.) > This is not with the intention of causing a dispute or stepping someone on the toes --> I can only state the personal fact that when I sometime ago made a clean install of FreeBSD 6 Release and thereafter looked into the specifics of the generic kernel.conf file the 'ath' driver + 'hal' was included and I there upon chose to remove the driver(s) from my kernel file and then recompile a new slimmer kernel. I have since moved to 6-stable, but with the same kernel.conf file .... So I'm not able to know what is included in the generic kernel and generic kernel.conf file of the present 6.1-RC, only what I have experienced in respect to a 6.0 Release. There are numerous other very often needed drivers which for not-known reasons are "missing" in the generic kernel --> but this is somewhat of a different discussion. And again; to me this is a mystery situation ?? -- Gregers Petersen
