I just figured I'd ask, since it's information I have. Hmm. Out of idle curiousity, has the NIH syndrome died down enough that it might hypothetically be possible for the three major *BSD camps to cooperate on this kind of thing? Form an organization the purpose of which is to get access to driver docs *for all three systems*? An organization which can claim to represent 2N or 3N users, instead of N, *might* be able to get people to listen more closely... Especially if it maintained a page describing hardware and vendor relations, and a lot of people got in the habit of linking to it. Does Intel care if there's a page saying "Intel has refused to provide specs, so we are obliged to recommend Frobozz Magic Ethernet instead"? Probably not, but they *might*. More than they care about mutterings on mailing lists, certainly. -s To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
