But conceivably there could be a fix in the future. I also keep cvs-updating NetBSD-HEAD and pkgsrc. On FreeBSD, I am also miffed by the lack of support for my Realtek 8111E/8168 chip on MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard, especially after that Ethernet worked for a time, and still does for Linux (System Rescue CD) and NetBSD. Synth and pkgng in pkgsrc seem to be falling into desuetude; gcc6-aux is broken for NetBSD (stated in the Makefile). I wonder also about the status of synth and possibly poudriere on DragonFlyBSD, idly curious in that I am more favorably impressed by Linux or Haiku, compared to DragonFlyBSD.
