Thank you, I should of reread the whole of the message before I asked you to repeat your self. I have checked the 11.0R 11.1R release notes at: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/relnotes.html https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.1R/relnotes.html and the infact do list alc(4) correctly, so I have sent an internal mail to Release Engineering so that we can track down why the release notes at https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/11-STABLE/hardware/support.html are not reflecting this. I suspect this happened in a transition that recently occured to the repository location that the release notes are stored in/ generated from. Thank you for calling this documentation error to our attention. Regards, -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
