The time it is taking for cardbus : to arrive in FreeBSD, when it is already available in NetBSD, is a : good example of this. (This is/was Warner Losh's baby, or am I : confused ?) I'm *really* disappointed that FreeBSD doesn't (yet ?) : support cardbus in 4.x (-current?) :-( It has become hard to just copy code from one BSD to another. It would be fruitful to define a common BSD driver API that all the BSDs can implement to facilitate sharing. However, this is a big project that not too many people seem interested in doing. It was the philosophy beind the newconfig project's efforts. The newconfig folks have made noises about working on this, but so far I've not seen anything from anybody that would make things easier. On the time side, I've been busy with work and consulting that I've found it hard to find the time to contribute. The consulting side seems to be tapering off, so I should be able to spend more time on it. I've already got the sn probe routine being called on the card I chose to get NEWCARD working, and once newcard is done for 16bits, 32 bits shouldn't be too much longer (both because it has been done before, and because there are two alpha level cardbus efforts that I'm aware of).
