I know I'm making a fool out of myself, but I posted a note about the
driver on this list earlier this summer and then someone e-mailed me
and asked for the source so he could integrate it in the tree.  I gave
it to him, he asked for a missing file, I gave it to him..  I thought
that was it.  I was trying to find these mail messages, but failed and
I also forgot who the person was (shame on me!).

I thought mentioning the driver here was enough, but obviously, there
were several people who missed the note.

Anyway, I had the Cyclades driver written (I paid for it) because I
needed a functional multi-port serial card driver for NetBSD/i386.
I have been running it on a production machine since late April and
it has been working well.  I have 8 modems hanging on the 16-port
PCI Cyclades card at the moment.

I would like to see the driver in the tree, so I didn't have to patch
the kernel tree every time I grab a new version.  I guess it's all too
late to get it into 1.2 now (although I thought the code was accepted
a long time ago already), but having it in -current would be better
than nothing (TM).

I'll put the cy driver source on my WWW page, so anyone can get it
when they want.  Look for http://www.jmp.fi/~jmarin/cy-new.tar.gz
