A few days ago I had a chance to test a SB/AWE-64 card, which naturally didn't come out well at all. It appears to be a plain PnP card which simply keeps dead silent until it has had it's dose of PnP initialization/probing. Because a growing number of all kinds of devices are adopting PnP as their standard feature which they cannot do without, it seems there is a growing need for PnP support also in FreeBSD. Is there any ongoing work within the FreeBSD community to support PnP? If so, when could we expect to see some early experimental version's source code floating around?
