If the same device is supported under -current already, and it's a question of how the driver is implemented (i.e., completely differently in -stable due to a lack of -current's ATM infrastructure), then I don't see why not. However, you may want to wait for someone from the TRB (is there a list of who's part of this group somewhere, anyway?) and/or -core to respond before you take action. -- Bosko Milekic * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * [EMAIL PROTECTED] TECHNOkRATIS Consulting Services * http://www.technokratis.com/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
