iBook powerpc FreeBSD

[Sean Welch]

That's too bad about the lost work.

I'm a tad confused about the bmac stuff in general.  You said
it was to support the ethernet port?  Is it a rework of something
else (I've certainly been able to use my iBook ethernet port without
issue...)?

Also, not to throw more stuff onto your plate but you may
remember we had a short discussion about the wireless card
and the iBook modem a while back.  At the time you seemed to
think that the wireless card wouldn't be too hard to get working;
is that still on the docket or has it proven to be more difficult than
you originally thought?  Or maybe it was forgotten in favor of
more important architectural work?  (*NOT* pushing here -- just
curious...)

                                                                        Sean

  The revA iMac USB keyboard has been extensively tested :-)

  No luck. The syscons stuff shouldn't be too hard to resurrect
from memory but I weep at the thought of the bmac driver :-(

later,

Peter.
