I actually have a number of questions/comments all on the latest Release 4.0: 1) Am I being blind? I can't find any indication of PCMCIA Ethernet drivers for any card and in particular the Xircom Cardbus 10/100 card (in my case a possibly custom one from Network General in my sniffer, although Win98 finds and uses it fine) in the kernel or LINT config file and the generic kernel on the boot floppies doesn't find it when booted on the laptop that it is in. I'm hoping I'm just being blind and there is a driver around somewhere that I haven't found ... 2) Is Robert Nordier (author/copyright owner of the boot0.s boot code file) around? I'm interested in making some changes to the code but the copyright is ambiguous about distributing changes (it can be read as approving distribution without changes in which case I'll do a reimplementation). If he doesn't object to modifications being distributed I won't reinvent the wheel. Now for some potential bugs (so far without adequate details this is more F.Y.I. than bug reports at this point. As I get time I'll poke further to make sure it isn't operator error ...) 3) sysinstall will sometimes refuse to write a legal size partition (the same size as it will write if "auto" is used) putting up the "partition to big?" error message. I can reproduce it but haven't had time to look at the code to see whats wrong yet. 4) (real nit) the enter key doesn't boot the kernel before the time out on the boot floppy (might be a corrupted floppy). 5) The built in openssh doesn't work when enabled in /etc/rc.conf. I only sometimes get the message "in the kernel" when I build it in ports (that might be an issue of "are you in the US" or not) the client complains about RSA decryption failing when being connected to from an earlier 4.0 release machine (where openssl was built from the ports collection).
