That's interesting. Does it support PCI? The actual effort in hotplug is not in the code, but in inspecting kFreeBSD source and determining the driver / id correlation. Perhaps we could convert hotplug's pci-id file to devd.conf format and use devd for the same purpose? -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
