What's the timeline for non-MPSAFE network drivers to be taken out behind the woodshed? Right now the list appears to be: an, awi, cm, cnw, cs, en, ex, fatm, ie, lnc, patm, fea, fpa, mn, ray, sbni, sbsh, snc, tx, wl, xe, ar, sr, plip Of those, an, awi, cnw, cs, ex, ray, snc, and xe have PC Card attachments, so I may wind up doing at least some of them (snc is pc98 only, cnw and ray are very obsolete wireless cards, so I don't think I'll do them). Warner P.S. I grepped a slightly old tree, so I may have missed something.
