Thank you for redirecting my message.  I've been keeping these  
machines updated on RELENG_6_2 because I have a couple pre-compiled  
hardware drivers I must use which I do not have kernel source for.  I  
just did a csup/buildkernel last week on the latest p8 source tree  
and tested the included twa driver and it was not up to date.  Would  
it be possible to get the twa driver pushed back into  RELENG_6_2?
