Over the course of a few hours I successfully built a 1.3b16 m0n0wall image featuring an SMP kernel
and including the msk driver.

I am sending this e-mail through my Shuttle K45 and have so far not experienced any issues in
restoring the configuration from my ALIX board.

Would it be possible to include the msk driver in the next release?

Also, while I realize that embedded systems are still primarily using single core processors, it is
difficult to find anything but at least dual core systems in off the shelf PCs.

Enabling SMP on the generic PC images would seem to make sense to me. Is there a specific reason why
this hasn't already been done?

Best regards,

I see the msk driver mentioned on http://m0n0.ch/wall/hardware.php but after installing 1.3b16 onto
a system with an onboard Marvell 88E8056 I see no interfaces available for configuration. 

It would seem as though the msk driver is available for FreeBSD 6.3 as per
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=msk&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-RELEASE 

Would it be possible to include this driver in future releases? 

Is building my own m0n0wall image and including this driver a complicated task?
