Dear list,
I will be using kqueue on freeBSD 6.0-rc1 and need to understand the 
relationship between kqueue and polling since polling support requires 
explicite enabling and choosing the correct ethernet drivers, etc...
First, is there a relationship between kqueue and polling?  The kqueue 
man page refers to the poll man page.  The polling man page does not 
refer to either poll or kqueue.
So, does kqueue require polling to be enabled? Any elaboration would be 
appreciated.
thanks, ke han
