HEADS UP: Dropping ISA & EISA support


From: Sascha Wildner <saw@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:10:11 +0100

Just to clarify:

After 2.2 has been branched (end of January), we'll start dropping support for _all_ ISA and EISA cards, not just the NICs.

We can't drop ISA support completely of course because of things like PS/2 (atkbdc(4), ...), vga(4) and so on but support for everything involving a physical ISA card being plugged into a physical ISA slot is planned to be nuked.

A list of ISA drivers is on the isa(4) manual page, but I guess you know if there are ISA slots in your box and whether you use them.

Please speak up if you think that this is not a good idea. :)

Sascha
