Are you paid to distract people from the non-free code? No, but you're paranoid and refusing help. Scott Scott, Not that it matters, since I seriously doubt *YOU* pull any strings at adaptec, but in our efforts to open up hardware documentation and firmare interfaces, we have help squash bugs (very real and nasty bugs) in the firmware of more than one hardware device. In other words, the vendor got $2500/hour debugging help for free... --Toby. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It just seem to me that the screw you guys, I am going home stuff just does not work. Other approaches have been tried. Extensively, and for a long time. If you know of an approach that works, please demonstrate. At this point, I believe that the community would welcome someone that is going to step up, and have adaptec supply the documentation because they negotiated it out of them. Words here are cheap... but at the current time, they are the only thing we really have left. The voice of the community. The vendors need a business case in order to do things - they are in business to make money and I can agree with that. They have a business case. More than one. 1800+ cards is not a business case? The points I brought up are not a business case? The bad press and such are not a business case? Give me a break. --Toby. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
