The following may be a stupid question ... if it is, please feel free to
tell me so -- I freely admit I'm nearly illiterate in C and definitely am
NOT a kernel hacker.

Is there a reason that drivers for one supported card, say a 3com 905TX
(selected at random) aren't incorporated into other non i386 platforms
that have PCI slots, such as a Sun Ultra-5 (also selected at random)?  Or
is this already possible?

The thought crossed my mind that it would be a definite benefit to be able
to use just about any card already on hand with just about any NetBSD
system being used, regardless of architecture.

Or am I way out in left field on this?
