Yes, my understanding of the goal of devd is that.  Also I understand
that NEWCARD users will be eager for suggested features until devd
development is completed.  So I'll leave the patches for such a people
for a while at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~iwasaki/pccard/cbb-pccardc-power-support-20021029.diff

BTW, I think that some developers are interested in devd.
Do we have mailing list for it?

Thanks
