In general, things went well, but I had two issues that prevented the network from operating. the first is a lack of documentation in the Release Notes and the second is a driver issue. Since they are in no way related, I'll send the report of the driver issue later. I use ipfw(8) tables in my firewall configuration. Unfortunately, 11.0 has introduced a totally re-worked tables structure. The new structure is awesome and I read about it at the time the changes were being planned and implemented, but had forgotten. As a result the very first line in my configuration, "table 1 flush" was no longer valid and the remainder of the file was ignored. I assumed that I had missed this in the release notes, but I can find no reference to this significant change that simultaneously greatly enhanced ipfw table functionality, but also broke my configuration. While the fix was trivial, if the Release Notes had addressed this, I would not have had the problem in the first place. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
