Hi Warner,

I've been playing with devd and noticed that if you do something like:

#
# Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN PC Card
#
nomatch 10 {
        match "bus" "pci[0-9]+";
        match "vendor" "0x14E4";
        match "device" "0x4320";
        match "subvendor" "0x1028";
        match "subdevice" "0x0002";
        action "kldload BCMWL5_SYS";
};

it won't match (at least on 6.0) as the regex that is used is case 
sensitive.  Since these are hex numbers, could the comparison not be 
case insensitive?  I'm not sure what implications just making the regex 
case insensitive will have on other matching clauses (e.g. for "system").

Thanks,

Gary
