Build broken in truss?

2002-03-11 Thread Nick Sayer
Is it just me? Attempting to compile ioctl.c results in massive numbers of warnings and a few errors. This is supping as of a few minutes ago. I commented truss out of the usr.bin makefile and proceeded to build and install the world without incident, but truss still refuses to compile. To Un

Nice, but I got this Znyx board for $70 on eBay thanks to the Dot-Com-Flamout syndrome. In any event, I did get it working, but... how shall I put it... The PHY seems reluctant... to select the proper media type, especially when it's not 100 mbps (that is, when you plug one of the ports in

hid_report_size() prototype wrong in both -stable and -current
