There isn't really a point in moving it to a port, because it still needs the same level of commitment to make it work; many kernel/net changes cause it to break, and Rui has already pointed out that no-one knows if it even works at all on HEAD. Moving kernel stuff like this to ports isn't really an option :/ Chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
