FreeBSD needs a : "devd" program *anyway* because what good is dynamic devices if you : can't do something intelligent with them when they appear (mount/ifconfig : etc etc etc). Yes. I'd like to see this in the future. There is no reason to have pccardd after the cut over to the new code. I don't think there is a reason to have both devd and usbd. They all just do things when devices come and go. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
