Lists are full of unanswered problem because people do not want to insist getting an answer. Now, believe me on one point, if you are a driver or subsystem author, might I have an issue with your work, I *will* be a recurring pain in your butt to get the issue fixed, or to get in what I do believe, with the limited set of knowledge and resources to my disposal[0], to be a correct fix for the issue, at the time. If you are condescending, arrogant, or advocates of the status-quo, as have been committers in the past, I will return you favor. Let face it, FreeBSD is not the most outstanding OS out there (despite obvious capabilities), and I would not be too proud of its state. All that to say that asking politely does not work in the arbitrary FreeBSD realm, where "the power to serve", is today nothing more that a relic. - Arnaud ps: note that I am ready to be wrong and to be publicly proven so, as it's been the case recently. [0]: which certainly not mean I am wrong, very far from that. > Having said that, I'd be happy to help fix this problem.
