Can I just point out, that what we have is not in fact "device-polling" but only "some-kinds-of-network-interface-polling" ? I think it should go away, and if there still is a relevant usage segment, be replaced by _real_ "device-polling" which is not tied to the network stack. Amongst the sensible uses for that would be high-speed serial interfaces etc. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ 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"
