Maybe you'll have better luck finding them (not the > Aug 24 patchset, the one after that). I was trying to pull the ath_hal module down from current myself, but I wound up also needing newer code for ath, and then wlan, and then net80211, and then I was still missing something. So I'm going to give -current a whirl. There's also a problem with the video when you close the lid with X running. When reopened, everything is fine - mouse, etc. - except that video has shifted down about an inch and a half on the screen, with garbage appearing at the top of the screen. Restarting X fixes it. I'm hoping this won't also be a problem in -current, but has anyone seen something like this before? -Snow _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
