I'm kind of curious to know if the newbus 'rewrite' leans this way. I'm a little skeptical of 'usbd', and 'pccardd' at this point; the need for userland event delivery is one thing but at this point it looks like both of them do nearly the same thing. Matching drivers to hardware is something a newbus driver should do itself; relying on an external hint mechanism strikes me as a solution prone to user aggravation. (speaking as an aggravated user of course.) </PCMCIA rant> -- | Matthew N.
