Hi, There is currently no simple way to prevent a driver from loading, except this: rm /boot/kernel/if_run.ko and make sure you don't have "device if_run" in the kernel config file. It might also work to set the UQ_CFG_INDEX_1 quirk on the device. --HPS _______________________________________________ freebsd-usb@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-usb-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
