After checking out the PNP support in 3.0 and 2.5-STABLE, I came to the
conclusion that it could do more. So here's my thoughts, and hopefully
I'll get something done this weekend.
The primary changes I want to make:
1 - grok the configuration information before USERCONFIG and identify
all LDNs and the resources they want as well as the configuration
values they accept.
2 - recognize the compatible tag for devices where we don't have
card specific drivers, but we do have general drivers. ie. I
have a plug and play ethernet card that's been in hardwired mode
for the last year, but it's ne2000 compatible and there's no
reason it couldn't be dynamically configured before the ed0
probe.
Any suggestions? Or comments? Any reason why I won't be able to
run the isolation protocol before userconfig?
