I'm a little bit torn on this one. On one hand, I hate to have a daemon like pccard to do what the device-drivers really should be doing, on the other hand I don't like the idea of adding the necessary code to the kernel too much either. Considering that we will need to have a daemon running anyway, to do the necessary userland initializations (ifconfig &c) I pressume we might as well have it do the CIS parsing and all that jazz... So based on that I guess the answer is "yes, go for it". Now, having reached this position let me ask a really nasty question: Why not make this a tcl application ? You wouldn't have to write a parse and all that, and it would be so much more flexible... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
