Re: Hardware support survey

I put this call out on the FreeBSD Forum and was made aware of this:
https://bsd-hardware.info/

I am checking it out and it seems pretty comprehensive.

I would be very interested in this group's thoughts on whether pushing more
FreeBSD users to add a probe <https://bsd-hardware.info/?view=howto> would
provide the requisite insight.

LMK your thoughts.

Thank you!

Greg
