No, it should be taken out the back, tarred feathered, shot, hung, drawn and quartered, burned at the stake and then nuked from orbit just to make sure. :-] I mean no disrespect for the hardware, but the driver makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end... > > ./i386/isa/if_le.c:#ifndef COMPAT_OLDISA > > We need this for VMware, right? I thought it was Lance. There is also if_lnc which has been newbusified. I wasn't planning on removing the actual drivers that use the shims, just the infrastructure. If nobody is bothered enough to update the drivers by the time of 6.0-R, then they can probably be removed. The code lives on practically unchanged in RELENG_4 and will still be in RELENG_5, so it'll be available for porting at a moment's notice. > -Nate > Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5
