I cleaned it up, and it works perfectly now... sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks again!! _ ¿Qué puedes hacer con el nuevo Windows Live?

For stuff available at boot you should use devfs.conf. The devfs.rules file is for devices that are plugged in later.

For a device already present at boot time, you would need an entry in devfs.rules. For a device plugged in later, you would instead need devd to know how to handle it. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ 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"
