Another person in Plan 9 has been working on an AML interpreter that presents the ADT in a filesystem (at least, that was what I envisioned and explained to him). I believe he has also contacted you regarding some USB ethernet device, so perhaps you two will want to work together to some point? If I can be of any use as well, let me know. I've got a small bit of experience with ACPI (fixing some issues in FreeBSD's acpica support for Intel Blades). > ISNT __IT _FUN? > > sorry, this is just a case convention I've recently seen > and I love it. It's certainly fun from a WTF were they thinking perspective.
