============ Forwarded message ============

 
Hi, 
 
I was wondering how to update microcode of an Intel CPU and came across 
cpucontrol and sysutils/devcpu-data . But last mentioned port is not up-to-date 
anymore. I searched Intel's webpages for microcode updates and found archives 
for Linux containing one single microcode.dat file. Could someone tell me if 
that file is compatible with FreeBSD? As devcpu-data installs .fw files it 
might be proper to convert/compile microcode.dat in some way. How?
