Not necessarily; one could, as a temporary measure, create and maintain the list of supported PCI IDs manually. I had a prototype once (though my purpose at the time was to generate kernel configs, not load modules). I dropped it because someone else was working on the same thing and had it seemed they'd gotten further than I had. I still have the sources though... (rev 1.32 of sys/dev/pci/pcireg.h was a side effect of that work) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
