After initial import of 'cx' driver in 1995 authors have not provide changes/bug fixes for FreeBSD while changing/developing their version of the driver (see www.cronyx.ru). And now FreeBSD (2.2.6 for example) have old and buggy version of the driver while author's version can not be used (without additional patches) in FreeBSD-2.2.6 and -current. I hope that this new 'tau' driver will be more lucky :-( N.Dudorov To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
