I'd like to see support for USB laptop docking stations. These are a neat way to dock a laptop -- they have parallel and serial ports, mouse and keyboard ports, and usually a NIC and a USB hub. I haven't been tracking USB support in FreeBSD, so I'm not sure: how many of these peripherals will work now? What would it take to add support for the others? --Brett Glass At 06:57 AM 11/16/1999 -0600, David Scheidt wrote: >On Tue, 16 Nov 1999, Sheldon Hearn wrote: > > > > > > On Mon, 15 Nov 1999 15:56:21 +0100, Nick Hibma wrote: > > > > > If you ask the 3 IDE disks and ethernet hub that have gone pop this > > > weekend, they would say no, but myself I was pretty firm that I was > > > going to do something about it this weekend.
