   OpenBSD 3.9: Blob-Busters Interviewed</a>, OnLAMP, April 27, 2006
   </strong></font><br>
   Federico Biancuzzi interviews several of the developers on improvements
   in 3.9: the continuing absence of "blob drivers", IPMI and sensors, apmd performance
   adjustment, Macs, rthreads, multicast, trunk, hostapd, and more.
   jsg clarifies the issue of "binary blob" drivers vs "firmware, and
   discusses the NVIDIA nForce Ethernet driver he did after NVIDIA did refuse
   to give out documentation; they can't stop us, but they can slow us down.
   The result: "There aren't any drivers in OpenBSD with binary-only components;
   this is quite a contrast to pretty much everyone else out there."
   marco comments on the IPMI work in 3.9, and adds:
   "IPMI is a standard, but there are vendors out there
   that have reading comprehension issues..."
   A long list of other developers explain their contributions
   and other changes that make 3.9 one of our best releases yet.
