I thought this was the FreeBSD project's driver. Most people graciously donated the copyright to the Project. And some retain it. Not all people have the hardware which the original author wrote the driver for. Thus making testing of the source code fixes difficult. I am not sure how much trouble phk went through to notify developers of what to change, but the developers could also care a bit more about their driver if they see these messages for more than a year. And Greg, you are becoming a bit too anal about semantics of grammar here. :P My text was illustrative for a developer who is actively maintaining his driver and boots the latest CURRENT every now and then and reads the dmesg entries for the drivers he wrote. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|freebsd.org|xmach.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder, finger asmodai@ninth-circle.dnsalias.net http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ Together we stand, steel in our hands...
