Re: PCI card and current problem



I find it useful when maintaining my own kernel config to keep the 
GENERIC $OpenBSD$ tag in it so I can do a cvs diff against that revision
and see what's changed.  And, if you're going to track -current, watch
source-changes.

Several disparate network devices were unified under the dc* device
recently.
