The drivers for SCO are developed by Intel, and bug reports are usually redirected to Intel. SCO just does build and packaging. If SCO produces some fixes, they are sent back to Intel as well. I get occasionally involved in this process and know for sure. Though I don't know if SCO pays anything to Intel for that, probably not, considering that Intel loans their hardware to SCO for free. These drivers contain some code ifdef-ed for Compaq and ICL builds, so I suppose Compaq and ICL also do their own packagind when they supply these drivers with UnixWare on their machines. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
