It was mostly changes to allow new versions of the card to function period. The bugs people are talking about are mostly with particular versions of the card. See recent threads which identify / discuss those specific revisions/versions. A few other people have reported problems, but its not clear if thats due to some other bug/problem they are tripping on. Besides, its not difficult to use the old version of the driver if you really want to. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Network Administration, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
