The new pnp code > treats each logical device on it's own and matches by logical ID. The new architecture sounds like a good thing, but isn't there a way to fall back to the old method if the logical device ID isn't found? Perhaps with an error message asking the user to report the logical ID to proper-mailing-list@freebsd.org? Of course I'm probably dreaming here, but it seems to me that some kind of compromise should be possible, since I tend to agree with Donald that "Working before + not working now = broken," no matter how much "better" the broken version is from the purity standpoint.
