Actually our production use is still 4.10-RELEASE, we are preparing to move to 5.4-RELEASE as soon as it will be available and we could port our system. So I have no troubles with removing if_mn in favor for something better/more featurefull in current. I just want to know about new driver, new cards and their possibilities. My original response was just to rise awareness of production use of the feature, which we consider important for our bussiness. If better replacement is ready, then everything is OK. Or even better.
