No. The hooks that I removed was the hooks to SDL's own frame-relay code.
But they don't want to make it available, so there is no point in haveing
it. The ar(4) and sr(4) drivers with the cards that they support should
work just fine with netgraph(4). ... Except that somewhere between
netgraph and the kld mechanism something is broken. You have to define
"options NETGRAPH" to get the netgraph hooks into the ar(4) and sr(4)
drivers, but then when you try to use it, the rest of the netgraph klds
don't realise it and try to load it again and nothing works. At the end
I just took all the NETGRAPH options from LINT and compiled it into my
kernel.
