This can be patched and a few programs recompiled in order to fix it, though by the time I was experiencing this problem, 4.1 was in my snail mailbox. If you prefer to patch the system, check the mailing list archives at www.FreeBSD.org, as this has been covered much better there. In the event you're not using FreeBSD 4.0, please send dmesg output to this list so we can have more information. Good luck, -charlie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
