Oh, yes, and "Tekram DC395U/UW/F DC315U adapters" or "EISA AHA1742 family" is very generic in our days, and "NE[12]000, SMC Ultra, 3c503, DS8390 cards" newtwork cards too, to name some random picks from GENERIC.
Generic hardware in our days are CPU, ACPI, APIC, keyboard/console, AHCI, USB, HDA audio and Realtek 1G NIC. Period. Even Intel NICs are not so generic (and even Intel itself solder Realtek on lot of their motherboards). Servers? Ok, Marvell and Intel NICs + bunch (say, 3-4) SATA/SAS controllers. Again, no all these wide-SCSI and 10Mbit NICs. Hey, we still have "cpu I486_CPU" in i386 config! How THIS could be generic in 2012!? -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <l...@freebsd.org> _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
