Subject: [9fans] pc boot and ether drivers
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 15:55:41 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.BSI.4.58.0411161553470.6130@malasada.lava.net> (raw)

Hi,  I noticed that the /sys/src/boot/pc ether drivers seem to
be at least somewhat based on the /sys/src/9/pc/ether* drivers,
but somewhat out of date.  What is the reason for seperately
maintained files (are the interfaces significantly different)?
How hard would it be to bring the boot ethernet drivers up to
date with the kernel files (or better to have them share code)?

Tim N.
