I'd like the 'de' driver fixed if if hasn't been in the last two weeks;
while onsite in sweden I tried cutting a new -current kernel to replace the
kernel on one of the radar controller systems that was basically being
ground into the mud by the scientists, and discovered that the 'de' driver
was not working with the SMC cards we have.  It was a relatively simple
process to retrofit an earlier version, but I'm not sure if this problem 
received any general airplay as I've been a little, er, busy 8(

Incidentally this system is still being pounded _very_ hard and is still
dying, albeit a little less rapidly; if anyone can fill me in on what's
happened in -current land in the last few weeks (offline might be best),
I'd like to try anything that might improve the life of the system.
