Why do you think "PAO support is buggy"? Do you read the recent
PAO patch? If you found bugs in PAO, please list up them.
I can not understand why you dislike PAO so much.
o PC-card support of "plain FreeBSD" is limitted.
o There are many notebooks which cannot work with "plain" FreeBSD,
but works fine with PAO.
o There ALREADY exists PAO.
So, I think "integrate PAO into FreeBSD -> fix PAO bugs if exist"
is EASIER AND FASTER than "ignore PAO and develop FreeBSD."
Any comments?
