Would it be sufficient to #include a pre-newbus version of sio.c #if NCARD>0 (like what Peter did for if_ed) & beating the result into submission? Or have enough things changed in the last 6 months to make this non-viable? Even a gross hack like this might be more palatable than going w/o a modem.. Thanks, Drew PS: Its rather ironic that I'm mainly an alpha person & I was very happy to see the isa devices getting new-busified. Have a working floppy on my alpha at home is really nice ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
