 Andrew,
 
 thank you for sending in your patch. Unfortunately support for the 5.x
 branch will end soon (less than 3 months) and I doubt there will be any
 new release for the 5.x branch.
 
 By not getting any more 5.x releases out, I don't think it makes sense
 to bring patches into cvs dead-end branch for supporting more hardware.
 I would like to recommend 1) maintaining the patches needed for your
 system locally, 2) updating your system to a more recent version of FreeBSD.
 
 At the time of the 5.x branch being EOL'd (May 2008), we'll closing PR
 tickets like this. For now, I'll set it suspended.
 
 Again, thank you for your submission.
