Warner is getting closer with his pccard work, which : should pave the way for more drivers to be loadable/unloadable. Yes, we also need to get the hot-swap PnP events (and I think ACPI in modern systems) to do this properly. The new ata driver also needs work for devices that go away suddenly as well, which may fall out from the pccard stuff. The floppy driver may also need work. I have most of the fdc port to pccard, but haven't had time to finish it up. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
