From: alex@big.endian.de (Alexander Langer) Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello! [Not sure, where this belongs, so to -committers + -doc] Since NOTES is more docu already, I'd like to reorganize its structure. Currently, many drivers support more than one bus of ISA, EISA, MCA, PCI. At the moment, we have, for example, some SCSI devices listed more than once, iirc, some up to three times (ISA/EISA, MCA, PCI). Since now the "device" line is common for all of them and they only differ for the hints stuff, I did the following: First, list Busses: (E)ISA, MCA, PCI and explain, that only (E)ISA needs the hints stuff. Move NIC/SCSI stuff, which were the only split sections, behind these stuff. Describe all drivers only one time and list all supported chips. List all device (+ hints for (E)ISA, if possible). I've also added few additional supported chips to some drivers, xl for example and some SCSI drivers.
