If the reason was that they aren't tested, they should have better be left "as is" anyway; otherwise, how are you going to test it with a fresh install? :-) > > You also did not mention that isp(4) is now back in the kernel, which > > is great. >=20 > Well, it really needs to be until isp as module is proven to work. >=20 > Generally speaking, the common drivers that would be needed in most > cases *should* be statically compiled in.
