Hi Folks,

you need to understand my question.

I told you that I have done snapshots installation and confirmed
that the drivers were there. Then I asked if anyone could confirm
wheither the driver is included in the generic kernel of a fresh OpenBSD 3.6
installation.

That's all and nothing else

// Bash

>>
>> Last time I installed 3.6 I had to fetch a current tree source.
