cvs commit: src/sys/dev/twe twe.c twe_compat.h twe_freebsd.c twe_tables.h tweio.h twereg.h twevar.h

[Mike Tancsa]

What version of the firmware did you test with ?  We have a few remote 
boxes so its good this extra stop gap is there as it would have led to a 
nasty surprise :-(  When you figure this would be MFC'd ?  For example, 
FreeBSD's RE's build box here has

Monitor version: ME7X 1.01.00.034
Firmware version: FE7X 1.04.00.024
BIOS version: BE7X 1.07.02.008
PCB version: Rev3
Achip version: V3.20
Pchip version: V1.30
Model: 7210
Unit count: 1

Will this box blow up if a cvsup was done today and the new drivers were run ?
