Comment it out and recompile. Or don't kldload it. I don't get your point. What are the benefits of mass-dropping support for old hardware (considering that some drivers _are_ being removed, due to lack of maintainers, interest, users, ...)? Don't forget that today's cheap appliances are very low end, and there is already people porting FreeBSD to some of them. Others just can't buy expensive hardware (yeah, i686 processors are cheap today, but you need more than just a processor to make it useful). No offense, but this kind of "I don't like it--delete it!" argument does not make any sense. -- Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez <rnsanchez_at_{gmail.com,wait4.org}> Powered by FreeBSD "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse."Received on Thu Apr 05 2007 - 17:27:05 UTC
