I've gotten a request to upgrade an ISP's systems from FreeBSD 3.x to 
4.2-STABLE. Unfortunately, he's using Comtrol RocketPort cards for his 
modems, and a check of the Comtrol site shows only drivers for 2.x and 3.x. 
Will I be able to get the cards working on 4.x? If not, he may have to 
forego the upgrade or toss out lots of hardware (which I'm sure would be 
expensive to replace)....

If there is source for the driver, you can use the
COMPAT_PCI_DRIVER/COMPAT_ISA_DRIVER to get the driver to use the
compatability shims for newbus.

Aside from the whine about make_dev, I've been quite happy. And this is with
stuff in the tree- no need to grab something from the website. I assume that
4.2 would be the same. This is the 8 port PCI card.

He's got 16-port PCI cards and some 16-port ISA cards.

If someone's already applied the shims, that's
great! Where's it hidden in the tree, though?
I don't see it. (Might just be slow this morning.)
