Just finished updating from r238227 to r238290 on the "head" slice of my laptop, and was unable to make use of the wlan(4) NIC; I captured the following via cut/paste from ttyv0: ...

Yesterday, I had updated to: FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #614 238227M: Sun Jul 8 06:47:51 PDT 2012 root_at_g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386 and things seemed OK -- I was certainly able to use the NIC. :-} uname output from this morning: FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #615 238290M: Mon Jul 9 05:39:15 PDT 2012 root_at_g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386 I glanced through the list of commits to head in that range, but didn't note anything glaringly obvious (yet). I hadn't tried a wired NIC on the laptop; I can, if there's anything likely to be of value in doing so. I've attached a copy of the associated dmesg.boot. Peace, david -- David H.
