I just had a recurrence of this exact problem after a 'pkg upgrade -y'
(which worked AOK since I didn't do any messing w/ ports before :-/ ). I
used the portmaster command & also had the same net result (drivers
reinstalled by pkg_static, rather than pkg, although they were compiled
up locally) .... My question is: Is there a way to get pkg to do this,
rather than ports/portmaster ? I prefer all 1 package manager as much as
possible, & for me that is pkg, except where necessary to fall back on
ports (flash plugin, for example). TIA ....
