No. The 53c4xx family are low-cost low-power derivatives of the 53c80, making them such poor contenders in this day and age that unless you have an embedded application where one is forced on you, support for it would only encourage you to continue beating your head against the wall. If you have a pressing need, you might be able to resuscitate the 'nca' driver to the point where it will work for you. If you're serious about it, a renovation of the driver would be worthwhile. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
