Devd would be responsible for doing much of what usbd and pccardd is doing wrt "doing things when devices appear" but in a more general setting so that we end up having 3-4 places things should be configured. As the worst case example: The flash-card from my camera can be plugged into a USB gadget, a pccard gadget or a parallel port gadget. I wouldn't want to have to configure it three different places to act the same. I have no plans for working on devd directly, but I'll happily put any needed hooks into DEVFS. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
