On 2001-03-28, T.C. Owen scribbled: # my motherboard only has pci expansion slots, can I take "device eisa" # out or is it possible something still needs it? That's what I do... even though you may or may not have ISA slots... keep it since chipsets use the ISA bus for several physical and several not so physical devices. # if my computer only uses ethernet, can I take out pseudo-devices ppp, # sl, and tun? and if not, why? Again, I do that as well. # if I take out "options INET6", do I have any reason to keep # pseudo-devices gif and faith? You can remove it. # is "device miibus" only for when there is not a specific device for your # NIC but you know it uses mii? i.e., if I have "device xl" (an mii # ethernet NIC), do I need "device miibus" or can the code associated with # device xl handle everything? If you have devices that require MII (usually listed right below the mii device), keep it. If not, you should be safe by commenting it out :) -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
