I am unlucky here :( The driver is has a dependency on one MFC, relating to PCI_FIND_EXTCAP. Is it possible to get the full patchset for that particular commit? cvsweb is file oriented, ie you get a diff of this MFC for each file, not the entire diff. raj ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Porting a driver from RELENG_6 to RELENG_6_2
I have a Marvell Yukon 88E8050 Gigabit Ethernet which came with my motherboard. When looking for it's driver I found that RELENG_6 supports it, and the driver is located at sys/dev/msk/ But I am using RELENG_6_2. Is it advisable to take this driver from RELENG_6 to RELENG_6_2? Is there some established method to get a diff of this driver alone and apply it to RELENG_6_2? Have you tried searching http://www.marvell.com/ for the driver? They provide the binary i386 driver for their Gigabit Ethernet Cards (myk), though I'm not sure about the card you mentioned.

There is a good chance that you can just copy the files in this
directory from RELENG_6 and it will work on RELENG_6_2 (since those
two versions are still close together). You will also need some of
the changes in sys/conf/ to glue it into the kernel build, which you
can extract from the CVS (see e.g. cvsweb). Or you can copy the
sys/modules/${whatever} directory too and it should be buildable as a
standalone module.
If you are unlucky then the driver may rely on changes made after the
release of 6.2 and you will have to either back-port those changes too
(or just run RELENG_6).
