Yes; when I update, my changes from the process in src/UPDATING
generally augment what's there (e.g., to clear /usr/include &
/usr/share/man before the make installworld).
And the NIC that's in use (at home -- and most other places) on the
laptop is iwn(4), so yes, there is a firmware blob:
4 1 0xc138a000 54e38 iwn5000fw.ko
(Well, that particular line is from kldstat when it's running stable/9;
I just checked the head slice, and the blob had been rebuilt (based on
mtime), and has contents different from the contents in stable/9:
g1-227(9.1-P)[3] md5 /{,S4/}boot/kernel/iwn5000fw.ko
MD5 (/boot/kernel/iwn5000fw.ko) = 8f98e8f28c70fe801c73aec4f717973f
MD5 (/S4/boot/kernel/iwn5000fw.ko) = a0150e03bfd307595ab37b0924252844
g1-227(9.1-P)[4] ls -lT !$
ls -lT /{,S4/}boot/kernel/iwn5000fw.ko
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 345868 Oct 7 07:48:46 2012
/S4/boot/kernel/iwn5000fw.ko
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 344416 Oct 7 04:51:11 2012 /boot/kernel/iwn5000fw.ko
g1-227(9.1-P)[5]
FWIW.)
As noted, the message does not appear to be associated with (other)
unwanted behavior, so I wouldn't consider this of earth-shattering
importance. It just seemed rather odd, and I got to wondering if
the developer who committed the change had intended this result.
And if said result was actually of use to anyone. :-}
Peace,
david
