Hi Dirk,

Could you tell us more what's the story here?  I read in man twa(4)
that the driver is not present in FreeBSD 14.0, much to my surprise
as IIRC these are popular controllers, and SATA/PCIe are not legacy
by any means.  Shouldn't the driver deprecation in the base system
be rethought/reverted rather than moving it to ports?  Thanks,
