ahh.. thanks for telling me this.. right now I'm looking at designing
a new bus/device interaction spec... and stuff like this is what I want
to know about.. :) with your addition I realized that having "fixed"
entries for probe/attach'ing is really stupid.. and that we should
actually go on an event based system where an even is delievered to the
device driver...
right now it's something like:
enum { DV_PROBE,
DV_ATTACH,
DV_DETACH,
DV_SUSPEND,
DV_RESUME
};
int (*handler)(strcut device *dev, int event);
this is still in design stage... so I'm open to suggestions... current
spec is: http://resnet.uoregon.edu:6971/~jmg/FreeBSD/busdevice.html

I need to update current on my notebook.. I wish that I had 100mbit
network with a 100mbit card.. doing an installworld over nfs just takes
to darn long.. :(
