But I am curious to hear what improvements drivers there may be for an AWS image. When I started writing this, I assumed these would be additional drivers, which didn't seem logical. Updated drivers, on the other hand, would be very welcome, specially from someone close to the coalface. And on that note, I'd like to start a catalogue of drivers for Plan 9 with sufficient documentation to ensure that they are or can be made portable or compatible across what I hesitate to call distros. If there is a shortcut to identifying the incompatibilities between various kernel versions, no one is more qualified than cinap, quanstro and forsyth to catalogue them. Is it worth it and if so, where should I start? Lucio.
