Pyun YongHyeon has fixed a lot of driver issues (i.e. re(4), bfr(4), vr(4)) over the last few months, many are already in CURRENT or RELENG_7 (not sure how many of them made it into 7.0-RELEASE) or posted as patches to the current@ mailing list. If you have problems, please see if they persist with a CURRENT snapshot. If they do, please post to the current@ mailing list with details. - Christian -- Christian Brueffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key: http://people.freebsd.org/~brueffer/brueffer.key.asc GPG Fingerprint: A5C8 2099 19FF AACA F41B B29B 6C76 178C A0ED 982D
