Would like to know the process of how to get hardware supported in =
current or future releases? In particular, I have a new Dell 2500SC =
server and would like to use the following hardware: the embedded =
Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller, an Intel Pro/1000T Server adapter and =
the Promise Ultra100/TX2 IDE controller card. NetBSD 1.5.1 doesn't =
configure any of these (at least for my box) and I know the supported =
hardware page does not specifically say it will either, but I would like =
to know how to go about getting NetBSD to support these in particular =
and also in general how hardware gets supported?
Thank you,
Bill O'Neill
