I'm personally against this, as I feel it is the wrong thing to do in -STABLE. Changing a kernel driver out from under deployed stable systems is something we state we don't do. Don't forget it also causes people with wired down drive numbering to have to change things if they don't be extra carful when merging GENERIC changes into their kernel config files. Making it so that `sym' handles things that `ncr' does, is of our course a good thing to do. Then the user could have both `ncr' and `sym' in the config file and keep `ncr' as the driver for what they have today. For those with cards that both `ncr' and `sym' support, users can comment out `ncr' if they wish to use `sym'. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
