For some reason, iwm has been renamed to iwn, fine. But in 12.4 I've also had a required firmare: device iwm3168fw That seems to be lacking in GENERIC 14. In addition, 12.4 had an usb audio device: device snd_uaudio That I am heavily reliant on. That seems to be missing in 14 as well. Neither is mentioned in UPDATING. Any information or further reading on this? Since it is a headless box, I'd like it to come up again with (wireless) network. Finally, two more general questions: options NUMA is generally not needed? I am not up to date wether newer cpus make somewhat use of that internally. Further, if going root on zfs, is ffs for some reasons still requred? As for some other, more obsuce partitions, like for boot/efi (even though those are msdos, but you never know the crosslinks) or for bootloader related stuff? Thanks Ede
