I was puzzled what urndis was, (what with top posting, mentions
of NetBSD, & no specification of paths in which version of src/
ports/ lkms or whatever) but it sounded useful so searched:
Urndis is not in Any FreeBSD release, including 9.2 or 10.0.
Urndis is just in 9-stable & current.
/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src/
/pub/FreeBSD/branches/9.0-stable/src/
share/man/man4/urndis.4
sys/dev/usb/net/if_urndis.c
sys/dev/usb/net/if_urndisreg.h
sys/modules/usb/urndis
This fails:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=urndis&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+11-current&arch=default&format=html
This works:
nroff -man /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src/share/man/man4/urndis.4
The first FreeBSD release to include it was FreeBSD 9.3
But is misleading, there is not [yet] a 9.3 Release, only 9.2-RELEASE
Cheers,
Julian
