freebsd stable - May 2004 - Digiboard PCI Xem driver

Hi, can anyone please tell me if there are any plans soon to include the PCI
Digiboard Xem driver to -STABLE or should I go with the 5.X release?

Thanks,
Lefteris Tsintjelis

I have been successfully using digi(4) in -stable for more than 2½
years now - the patches are trivial (basically just change a couple of
"struct thread"s back to "struct proc", fix the cdevsw
initialisation
and change the kld load path).  Unfortunately, no-one seems interested
in officially back-porting it to -stable - and I can't see it happening
at all now.

If you an get a driver done and tested, then getting it committed to 4.x
is not too hard. It just requires someone who has one to do the work.
I'd be happy to commit it..

4.x.... "I'm not dead yet"
