Re: Proposed new /etc/rc.d/drvctl script

Isn't this barking up the wrong tree?

First of all, WTF amdsmn4)?  Apparently there is no man page.

Our autoconfiguration system handles this case just fine with match
priorities.

That should work for modules too.  martin@ noted this in the PR.

I recently came into a possession of an Infinite Noise TRNG that attaches
as a ucom(4) by default.  The to-be-written driver should attach it as a
rng device and use match priority to make that happen.  So this is a more
generic problem that needs solving in the module and autoconfiguration
framework.

How do you plan to get rid of the script once we've fixed the underlying
issues.

Your proposed script pampers of the symptoms in a crude way.

You can easily use this script locally until the underlying issue(s) have
been fixed.

To be frank: NO!  If you still want to commit this, I suggset you get
approval by core@ first.
