Along this tack, would there be any value in resurrecting UDI (or
something like it)?
http://www.projectudi.org/
It seems like it never really caught on. I think the UDI interface
was built into SCO, Linux 2.2 & 2.4 and maybe nBSD, but I've never
actually seen drivers.
It came to mind when someone mentioned porting to microkernel X,
because all the microkernels -- heck, all the alternative OSes on the
periphery -- are in the same boat when it comes to drivers. It would
be nice if something done for Plan 9 could also benefit L4, etc.
I think the ndisulator would be fantastic, especially for all those
random laptop NICs, but for RAID controllers, video cards, etc.,
someone's going to have to put in the time and it sure would be nice
to share -- and occasionally reap -- the wealth.
