.Sh BUGS
The
-.Nm fdc
+.Nm
driver can interfere with other controllers, namely some WD/SMC
network controllers fail to work when the probing mechanism
in the
-.Nm fdc
+.Nm
driver probes for a missing second floppy drive.
In this case you should try recompiling the kernel
replacing the relevant line with
.Cd "fd0 at fdc? drive ?".
