Yes. Look at what the script actually does, not what some naive check or comment may indicate. The firmware loading interface does not appear in /proc on kernel 2.6, but /proc is choosen if SYSFS is not mounted. find /proc | grep ipw Regards, Eduard. -- OpenBSD fails miserably in this respect, and makes for an example of how NOT to work with the community on security issues.
