Hi Bill,

Now that 1.0 is out what is the idea for moving to kernel 6.2? Any idea of the time frame? Could we find a solution to keep the interface numbering stable i.e. when adding a NIC not have all interfaces renumbered? This is really annoying, MacOSX which also uses FreeBSD, does do no this renumbering so there must be a solution may be we should peek in Darwin code?

Thanks

Pierre

So if I understand correctly you are porting pfsense to 6.2 instead
of back porting the driver? That looks like a fabulous solution and
quite a bit more sustainable for the future.

Exactly.  And takes the risk out of a backport (which looked like it
may end up being rather tedious).  It also means that anyone can build
a RELENG_6 based image for any and all new hardware in RELENG_6 that
isn't in the branch we're tracking for 1.0.  There is some risk of
stuff not working quite right of course, but that's why we're not
changing to RELENG_6_2 this late in the release cycle.
