As long as it isn't in GENERIC by default, I can't see any harm in doing so (similar to what was done with Netgraph). I know that support for certain cards has to be turned off in the older ncr driver, but I assume that can be conditionalized to happen only when the new sym driver is compiled in. I'd really love to see this driver in -STABLE. I've been using 0.9.0 since it was released and haven't had any problems. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
