I'm totally "don't-care" on the semantics of any and all of these, my patch is just an attempt to evict makedev() from the tree. If you have a better idea how to do this, by all means go for it. It has also been pointed out that my subsequent if_tap.c patch would likely break the way people expect the "vmnet" device to work so I have already canned that. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
