Maybe both of them could be harpyfied... that would be nice if it was done indeed. Also as you may have read in the atm@freebsd.org mailing list , I posted about several problems I had with the PCA200E driver with HARP, do you know if your drivers would fix this ? I also hope that all these changes you propose will be able to to be integrated into STABLE soon because running current on a production machine is not good IMHO :) > > harti > > CP> > CP> > CP> > CP> > CP>On Mon, 10 Jun 2002 12:39:18 +0200 (CEST) > CP>Harti Brandt <brandt@fokus.gmd.de> wrote: > CP> > CP>> On Fri, 7 Jun 2002, Matthew N.
