Any serious objections before I commit it to head? DES (e) is still quite useful and something I expect to have Just Work on any modern operating system The only reason I think this makes sense is because of the suspend/resume bugs. This is otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, a serious POLA violation. That said, I thought the same thing about removing sbp(4) from GENERIC and there is not too much point in having firewire without sbp. -Nathan ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I routinely use dcons with firewire as a module for debugging on PowerPC. I have no issue with removing it on PowerPC. Every situation I can think of (dcons, booting from firewire disk) I've already tested with firewire as a module, and my custom kernels will continue to have it built by default anyway. - Justin ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Removing firewire support from GENERIC
Firewire is - a significant security risk - an obstacle to functining suspend / resume on many systems - rapidly becoming obsolete - available as a module The attached patch removes it from GENERIC across the board.
