THIS PACKAGE INSTALLS THE NEWER VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE WHICH CAN CAUSE SYSTEM |
| 4 |
INSTABILITY WHILE USED. USE THE UPDATED VERSION ONLY IF YOU EXPERIENCE |
| 5 |
PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVER PRESENT IN THE KERNEL DISTRIBUTION |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Usage: |
| 8 |
To load the updated version of the driver add this: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
if_%%PORTNAME%%_updated_load="YES" |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
to your /boot/loader.conf and reboot the machine. |
| 13 |
There's no need to recompile the GENERIC kernel without if_%%PORTNAME%% driver |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
After the reboot you may see this kind of messaged in the dmesg: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
module_register: module pci/%%PORTNAME%% already exists! |
| 18 |
Module pci/%%PORTNAME%% failed to register: 17 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This is the side effect of the newer version of the driver overriding the |
| 21 |
older one and can be safely disregarded |
