Re: [9fans] fs kernel: eagle

Jakub Jermar <jj@comberg.cz>:
	There are two kernel processes called "egi" and "ego" in the fs kernel
	source. They do similar job as "etheri" and "ethero" processes.

	i) what kind of network device is Eagle
	ii) they seem to be unused today - I can't find any call to the routine that
	spawns them

	Jakub Jermar

Two drivers (eagle and jaguar) are included in the distribution source
although the machines which used them are long gone (SGI Power series and
MIPS 6280). These are VME cards, the Eagle was ethernet, Jaguar was SCSI,
both made by Interphase.

I suppose I could remove them, I remove the dregs of other dead hardware
when I find them. Hands up, who knows what this typedef in fs/port/portdat.h
was for:
	typedef	struct	Bit	Bit;
If you know, I pity you.
