Just to be clear -- if you are a user of: if_ar if_sr Or one of the USB network interface drivers from the old USB stack (not the new USB2 stack), then you will now find your device drivers are not part of the build. USB users should use the new USB stack if they need network interface drivers; if_ar and if_sr drivers will need to modify the device drivers to be MPSAFE and then submit patches.
