IssueStatusResponsibleDescription
PAE support for i386----PAE support allows the use of up to 64GB of RAM on Pentium Pro and above + systems. Virtual addresses are still contrained to 32-bits.
lazy context switching for i386----Lazy Context Switching allows for faster context switches and should + mitigate the some of the latency introduced with interrupt threads and + GEOM kernel threads. Enabled with the LAZY_SWITCH option.
if_wi problems on Lucent hardware----The recently upgraded if_wi driver is more tuned to Prism hardware + than to Lucent hardware, resulting in system lockups and poor performance + when using Lucent hardware. These problems are beleived to be fixed + but more testing is welcome.
No console (term) if smbus is enable in the kernel --
