Did you have a look at what's inside the .tar.gz file? A directory upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0 with the following files: Makefile, distinfo, pkg-descr, and pkg-plist. Obviously, that's not a binary package for pkg_add use. It's a port. Extract the file and use it with the port infrastructure (i. e. "make install"). Seems that the instruction in "man 4 upgt" is just missing the proper terminology... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
