from Ithamar Adema:
Is there any other reason then time/effort that we're tracking FreeBSD 9.x
instead of 10.x for the network driver compatibility layer? There's some
network driver support in 10.x that isn't "back ported" to 9.x, and I would
prefer to simply update the BSD compatibility instead of starting to merge
patches from 10.x into our 9.x base...
Anyway, just wondering if someone tried that already and found some
blocking issues or if it is just a lack of time / motivation ;)
Ithamar.
Better yet, use FreeBSD-current (RELENG 11).
I am a FreeBSD user, mostly HEAD (current), less frequently 10.x-STABLE.
My FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE installation went bad because the hard drive itself
developed bad sectors.
Computer I am on now (MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard) does not work with FreeBSD
drivers; Ethernet is recognized but doesn't connect, a bug in re driver shared
with OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD but good with Linux, NetBSD and Haiku R1A4.
Other computer has nearly the same Ethernet, slightly different chipset
version, also re driver, good with FreeBSD since 9.0-BETA1.
I intend to check newer updates to re (Ethernet) and rsu (for Hiro H50191 USB
wireless adapter).
I am, as I type this, in NetBSD-current amd64 (7.99.1).
