I would like to commit a driver to -stable that will not be in -current. The driver is for ProSum's ProATM card. I have recently committed a full busdma driver to current (patm(4)), that I hesitate to backport to -stable because it requires ATM infrastructure that we don't have in stable. On the other hand there is a -stable driver for this card from ProSum (www.prosum.fr) that is reported to be very stable under -stable :-), that several people use and that I would like to commit. So, can I do this? harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.fraunhofer.de, harti@freebsd.org
