There's also preliminary support for ata flash and ata cdroms that is new, as well as linksys support (although I think the linksys stuff is in 3.x now). I have hardware for fdc and fe changes, but not the time right now. Xircom has preliminary support as well, but that is broken at the moment. : How much benefit would you be getting by having 4.0 ship with newcard : instead of what's there now? E.g, by having 4.0-PAO relate to newcard : rather than what's in presently? I'm not sure that there is a huge advantage to having 4.0 ship with a fully functional newcard. As it stands now, there will likely be a PAO 4.0 release which brings forward much of the PAO3 functionality that hasn't yet been merged. In the 4.1 timeframe I think we'll see a more agressive move to newcard and by 4.2 see the differences between regular FreeBSD and PAO diminish quite a bit. However, that's just a guess.
