I just want to thank those who worked on NEWCARD, devfs and devd in V5.0, primarily Dima and imp, I guess. It's been badly needed for a long time, but the advent of USB and Firewire as well as the common use of FreeBSD on laptops had made the lack of dynamic device support a glaring problem in V4. Now that devd is working, things just work--like they should.
While this might not be a project the size of the new SMP code, I wanted to let those responsible know that it is really appreciated. I also should thank the NetBSD folks who did the original NEWCARD work, but I don't know where they are. Lots of cool stuff in 5.0, but this one has been annoying me for a LONG time and I know it was really non-trivial to implement some parts of this. Thanks again! I now return you to your regular ration of gripes, some probably from me. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
