This is no big deal, we have plenty available. I do not like the idea of trying to go through the vm86 interface to get to the APM. Making another descriptor for use for PnP is a piece of cake, see how simple it is in the APM code :-) My docking station is supposedly handled by the PnP event mechanism, so I'm pretty interested in this stuff obviously. We will also need to enlist Stefan Esser to really get this to the right place, because doing hot-plug/PnP/CardBus requires the ability to modify the PCI setup, and hopefully all the drivers can be taught this in some kind of meaningful way. Anyway, go! go! go! -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
