01 March 2009 Disable build of all IFF_NEEDSGIANT drivers in 8.x
Slightly delayed while USB NDIS was sorted out, I will be moving
ahead with disabling the build of all IFF_NEEDSGIANT drivers in HEAD
later today.
This patch is now committed; while I've done build testing (etc)
there's always a chance of problems -- please drop me an e-mail if I
missed something.
Just to be clear -- if you are a user of:
if_ar
if_sr
these are drivers for synch io cards. they have netgraph interfaces
as well as 'old style' interfaces. I think John Hay was the last
person seen with these cards.
Or one of the USB network interface drivers from the old USB stack (not
the new USB2 stack), then you will now find your device drivers are not
part of the build. USB users should use the new USB stack if they need
network interface drivers; if_ar and if_sr drivers will need to modify
the device drivers to be MPSAFE and then submit patches.
