As far as I have been able to learn and glance from Bill Paul and some other device driver guru's too much has changed in order for it to be correct under CURRENT.

Else I will start this ASAHP. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best Cum angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur.
