The problem is I'm not a system developper either, and I only had the
iso images for installation, so I will have to find a way to apply the
patch.
You'll need the kernel sources installed. Then apply the patch and then
re-compile the kernel. Basically you just need to add on line of code in
the right place. If you have got the sources from CD and not updated
them you will not need to rebuild the userland. Check the handbook for
details (chapter 9).
In addition, I can't find the bfe0 network driver for the Broadcom
BCM4401 in the kernel configuration, but the 4.10 release notes told
the bfe should be in.
From bfe(4): "The bfe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1."
Actually I forgot that 5.1 was released before 4.10 - my mistake. Indeed
the driver seems to have been ported back to the 4-Stable branch.
Yes, but in http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/errata.html :
"(27 May 2004) The bfe(4) driver for Broadcom BCM4401 based Fast
Ethernet adapters has been added but the release notes did not mention
that."
I think you just need to add a line that reads
device bfe
to your kernel config file and the rebuild the kernel.
Phil.
