Just because a code freeze was called does not mean it is time to send all email to me personally!!!!

Too late for a new driver, this is the one area that has always bitten us in allowing these types of kernel changes late in the game. But once again this is a driver that is not compiled in by default. Jordan? David? can we allow the driver to be updated (someone else with commit would have to do it if both Jordan and David ok it). Otherwise I will go commit the comment change. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
