Actually, I started doing this for the BSD/OS Dynalink driver. However,
I'm not confident a user can configure, say, both a Teles S0/8 and a
Teles S0/16.3 and expect autoconfiguration to work it out. Has this
issue been resolved on NetBSD? Or should users not configure two
potentially conflicting cards into their kernel? The case I mentioned is
very real for me, I'm about to set up a test machine that will end up
with both in them at times (and beside, I like to have one kernel around
for all the boards I have access to).
For devices that can be reliably autodetected (ISA PNP, PCI) the current
BSD/OS code will just set the flag based on the bus probe result. This
should probably be documented explicitly in the BSD/OS i4b README :-)
