Re: [Testbed-admins] network drivers in freebsd.newnode MFS?

[Robert Ricci <ricci@cs.utah.edu>]

If this is *just* for the newnode MFS - the newnode MFS is just a 
convenience - it'll help you enter some data about your nodes, where 
they are connected to switches, etc. If you're just adding a few nodes 
(as I suspect BBN is...) it's possible to enter this information 
manually, and this might be less work than spending time fighting with 
drivers.

If you are installing dozens or hundreds of machines, of course, then 
the tradeoff is probably favors getting the MFS working.
