Hello Everyone I thought to give NetBSD 8.0_RC1 a spin on my laptop, but the msk driver for my Marvell 88E8071 doesn't seem to be there. (Forgive me if I've missed detail of this publicised somewhere but please put me right!) I've never had to add drivers manually before, so far I've added

Yeah you're right. I think my debian box isn't using the NetBSD tools. I'm going to have to make some time to sort that end out properly first, work out why systemd isn't starting distcc up properly etc. -- j...@sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org
