Actually, the stuff in -current is actually newer in all respects except for some missing drivers in /sys/i386/isa, and there have been some changes made to the user-land daemons. Some of the changes in the recent Nomad's patches are a step backwards, although most of them were backed out recently at my request. The stuff in -current is actually pretty darn current, although there is currently no support for the 3C589C card (yet). That is the one major driver I *need* to get working, but I just had 3 projects dumped on my at work which precludes me working on any of it. :( > Well, I figured them out.

One of the user-land changes not yet rolled in is the ability of the pccard daemon to assign any free IRQ to a card, so you don't have to hard-code the IRQ in the config file. However, the code is pretty crufty, so I'm having a time getting things working. (The kernel code was very well written though, so the user-land code was a suprise.) Nate
