Understood, they aren't cheap boards. To be clear, what I'm offering is to provide a replacement kernel (that can be uploaded as a firmware image) for 1.0 and any major future RCs (such as RC3) that we release for 1.0. At the point where we release an official version all personal support for this kernel will be ceased. As I haven't looked at the amount of work required to backport the imported driver I can't make a guarantee on it just yet, but I do happen to have a relatively open evening tonight.
That being said there very few 4 port cards and I could not get hold of one of the "old" ones that are supported so this may become a
Understood here also, I can no longer get the older MT boards myself, only the newer boards. Caused me quite a bit of pain as I had to backport the driver in OpenBSD also or be hosed until my next upgrade cycle in 9 months.
problem very rapidly well before the 12 month time frame of 1.1. It may be necessary to reconsider the problem but I do not now the issue so it is hard for me to contribute on that topic. I understand the problem of RELENG_6_1 and RELENG_6 apparently FreeBSD is releasing RELENG_6_2 in October may be we should consider a 1.0.1 with an updated kernel?
That might happen, we'll see. There are no firm plans for post 1.0 at this point. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
