Thus spake Matthew Jacob (mjacob@feral.com): > on two years of watching things here is that nobody looks in LINT (or NOTES) > for device support. And FreeBSD loses a lot by not having this extra > functionality visible. A lot of drivers are only listed in NOTES and not in GENERIC, or am I wrong? However, if this is the case, imho the correct solution is: * Add a BIG note to GENERIC, that explains, that example codes and supported devices are in NOTEs * remove all uncommented stuff from GENERIC, NOTES it the correct file This has the following advantage: * Only maintain one file (NOTES) for changes/new stuff * Make people look into NOTES (and probably see MUCH more stuff they might need, such as device-options).
