I don't know. And what follows is more likely a description of problem "avoidance" rather than "solution." That said, if your pain level is high enough, "avoidance" may prove a viable strategy: What I do, on my laptop (which has a miniPCI wireless card that is recognized as wi0), is run FreeBSD 6-STABLE (actually, RELENG_6, tracked daily) on slice 1, RELENG_7 on slice 3, and HEAD on slice 4. I have things set up so that /usr/local is the same for all slices, and installed the misc/compat6x port while the machine was running 7-STABLE. All other ports are built & installed while the machine is running RELENG_6. In general, this approach works for me; YMMV. In particular, I verified that I was able to fire up bsd-airtools -- one of my access points at home is an Apple Airport, so bsd-airtools is the only mechanism I have for managing that device -- while running RELENG_7 and HEAD (each built as of this morning). Granted, I built the port under RELENG_6, so this may not be sufficient for your needs. (I was not able to verify that the program behaves properly, as I'm at work, where my Airport is not.) Peace, david --=20 David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org I submit that "conspiracy" would be an appropriate collective noun for cats.
